WithColor Wins Back $700k From Isildur1

Hats off to PLO specialist "WithColor"for not throwing the towel in after Tueday's $1.1m hammering at the $200/$400 PLO tables against Viktor "Isildur1" Blom. In yesterday's return match he picked himself up, dusted himself down and managed to shake off a tricky start to romp to a near $700k victory over the rampant Swede in a hugely entertaining match.

Isildur1 had toyed with a few short games of $50/$100 and $100/$200 PLO a little 8-Game, and a little FLO8 resulting in a small profit before the main event of the day - a 5hr 45min heads-up battle over 4 tables against WithColor.

The match started off well for Isildur1 as it looked like he was set to continue as he left off a few nights ago and after the first couple of hours play he had taken a near $200k lead in the match. At this point they switched from $200/$400 down to $100/$200 deep for around 20 minutes before moving up to deep $200/$400. This is where the real action took place.

WithColor was playing a much stronger game, and Isildur1 wasn't reacting well. The Swedish pro was being both outplayed and out-lucked, which only had the effect of sending Isildur1 into tilt-mode and his losses started to mount up.

To be fair to Isildur1 he did manage to compose himself and worked hard to get back into the game, but it wasn't to be his night and as well as being outplayed, he was on the end of a huge number of bad beats and coolers. There were numerous top set vs middle set and full house over full house pots, all of which went to WithColor. He even managed to river a full house on both runs of the river with Isildur1 ahead with a straight on the turn to take the day's biggest pot of $163k.

During the dying minutes, Isildur1 did win back around $100k but WithColor still ended the session up a huge $697k. Despite this loss, Isildur1 is still up $2m since last Friday so we may well not have seen the last of this great rivalry just yet.
