You may not know who Ilari Sahamies is…yet. Perhaps, you may have heard of his online handle – ziigmund? Ziigmund is one of the most fearsome poker players online. One minute he can be down 500k. The next he can be up more than double that. The Finnish poker player certainly gets the railbird in his corner. They love to watch his high stakes poker sessions online at Full Tilt Poker.
Recently, folks got quite the show when Sahamies took on Brian Hastings, a Full Tilt Poker pro (and Cardrunners instructor), and online specialist, Cole South. In the end of the action-packed but brief confrontation, ziigmund came out $200,000 ahead.
Now that’s what we call high stakes poker!
