There is such a thing in poker as momentum. When you have it, you should play as much as possible. After 18 months of struggles, Ilari ‘Ilari FIN’ Sahamies has been rolling the last couple months in the high stakes PLO games on PokerStars. The Finn has won over $2 million since August.
Back in August, Sahamies was down roughly $800k on the year and clearly very frustrated. Once he finally started on a positive roll, he has played consistently and watched the winnings continue to roll in.
On Thursday alone he won another $119.5k for the biggest gain on the day and bringing his winnings over the last seven days to around $750k.
His momentum hasn't prevented big swings from within his sessions, but by the end of his days, Sahamies is coming out on top with big wins.
On the other end of the spectrum, a previous big winner on the year PokerStars online pro socutiesf was the biggest loser again yesterday losing $92k. That brought his last week losses to above $500k and seriously denting his 2011 profits.
According to HighStakeDB, the biggest hand between the two saw $89k shipped to Sahamies as his rivered full house beat socutiesf' straight.
