A long-awaited Full Tilt Poker heads up battle finally happened as the sensational mystery player Isildur 1 encountered Ilari “Ziigmund” Sahamies. Their heads up started with blinds at $100/$200, but after that these guys kept changing the game levels on a frequent basis. 

Sahamies would have preferred the bigger levels already in the beginning, but Isildur1 refused because of his bad roll situation. They started four tables with blinds at $100/$200. Sahamies played with lower blinds than he is used to, and this was clearly seen in his game which was even more aggressive than usually. Many of the pots were sized like $3,5k-$10k already on the preflop, and the whole game resembled more flipping. Isildur1 won more pots and Sahamies suggested moving to bigger tables - which Isildur1 finally agreed to do after having won $300k from four tables.

Ziigmund: 200 400?
Isildur1: rather play here
Ziigmund: okm gg
Isildur1: u have for 200400 4 tbls?
Ziigmund: 3
Ziigmund: ok?
Isildur1: no sry
Isildur1: to short role here
Ziigmund: ok 4
Isildur1: k

Isildur1 was not ready to play three tables with blinds at $200/$400, but after Sahamies had suggested playing four tables, the Swede was at once waiting at the tables. Both players charged $40k to four different tables and the game could continue. Perhaps it was all Sahamies’s tactics, but right after the games were switched to the level Sahamies had wanted, the Finn began to win big. Isildur1’s roll began to slowly shrink and he proposed that the games would be switched back to smaller tables.

Isildur1: 100200 for a while
Isildur1: i get in more later
Isildur1: cant now
Ziigmund: i dont want 100 200
Isildur1: cant play here with 3 buy ins

Sahamies told he was busy because of facebook, so their session continued only three more tables with the blinds at $100/$200. On this level Isildur1 was at home again and mastered the game. Encouraged by his profits he accepted again Sahamies’s suggestion about playing with blinds at $200/$400. But Isildur1 had learned his lesson and this time he quite quickly raised his stack size to over $100k at two tables. Sahamies struck back after an hour of playing and won back $200k of the money he had lost in a short time.

At worst Sahamies was over $-500k out of pocket from Monday, but the longer their battle continued, the more he managed to spurt back his losses. When Sahamies finally stopped playing, he did it $150k richer.
