Durrrr and Ziigmund Play $3,000-$9,000 PLO

Last week, Tom "Durrrr" Dwan and Ilari "Ziigmund" Sahamies were playing deep-stacked heads-up $500/1,000 PLO when Ziigmund proposed $3,000/9,000 "blinds" to Dwan. Dwan accepted to play for 10 hands but they played much longer.


Here is the conversation they had:

Ziigmund: lets make deal
Ziigmund: always have to raise and reraise
durrrr: what type?
durrrr: lol
Ziigmund: ok?
durrrr: ill do for 10hands ok?
Ziigmund: before flop
durrrr: next 10hands
Ziigmund: ok next 10 hands
durrrr: god
durrrr: lol
durrrr: so sick
Ziigmund: then u can do what u want
Ziigmund: rereraise
durrrr: ya obv
Ziigmund: or whatever
durrrr: ya
durrrr: 10 hands
Ziigmund: but raise and reraise before flop
durrrr: ya



They played some huge pots, 3 pots over $400k including one for over $577k! In the $577k pot, Durrrr flopped the nut straight where Ziigmund flopped the nut flush draw. Ziigmund hit his flush on the turn and collected the massive pot!

Another big pot was a $433k pots won by Durrrr. He flopped top set of queens against Ziigmund's massive straight draws. Ziigmund doesn't hit and Durrrr drags the pot. Here's a picture of the hand, Ziigmund isn't that far behind with his open ended plus double gut shot straight draws.

Durrrr flopped top set of queens against Ziigmund's massive straight draws
At the end of the session, Durrrr finished ahead of Ziigmund by only $160k. 2 days later, Sahamies wanted to play some more $3,000-$9,000 PLO! Dwan said it was too much at the moment but later accepted after winner a big pot.

The biggest hand they played was a $477,912 pot that Ziigmund won. Durrrr flopped a set but Ziigmund turned a straight. Durrrr did not hit his full house and Ziigmund collects the pot.

After the second session, Ziigmund won back his 160k from the first session and now they are tied for the $3,000-$9,000 stakes.

Session 3 coming up?

Gus Hansen Loses over $1.2 Million In Just One Day

Last Friday, Gus Hansen battled it out with Di “Urindanger” Dang and David “MR B 2 U SON” Benyamine on Full Tilt Poker for one his biggest loses of his career. Gus Hansen posted over $1.2 million in losses, losing most of it playing heads-up pot-limit Omaha against Urindanger and Benyamine.

Gus Hansen Loses over $1.2 Million In Just One Day

The three of them played a lot pots, many over $200k. But in the end, Dang took +$740,000 off Hansen and Benyamine finished +$645,000.

Here are some big hands:

The biggest hand Gus actually won. Gus flopped a straight flush 8-Q of clubs, and Benyamine flopped an ace high club flush. All the money went in on the flop and Gus took down the 242k pot.

Gus then loses a $236k pot to Benyamine when they both flopped a set! Gus flopped a set of deuces while Benyamine flopped a set of queens on a Q,10,2 board. Gus Hansen, out of position, check called on the flop and check raised on the turn. Benyamine raises all in and his hand holds up.

Another big hand: Urindanger and Gus play a $238k pot. Urindanger makes a big bluff on the turn with a flush draw and gut shot straight draw. Gus makes the call because he turned a set of jacks. Unfortunately for Gus, Urindanger hits a flush on the river and collects the $238k pot.
