The high stakes railbirds must be wondering if “Isildur1” really does have, “one ring to rule them all,” as he continues to work some magic in his high stakes No Limit Hold’em sessions against Tom “durrrr” Dwan. Isildur1 (whose name comes from the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy) handed Dwan big losses on Tuesday and Wednesday evening, giving the unidentified Swede a perfect 4 for 4 in sessions against the online pro.

Dwan dropped nearly half a million dollars to Isildur1 on Tuesday and gave up another $700,000 last night, bringing the total amount of durrrr’s losses to Isiludr1 to around $2.9 million on the week. Thankfully for durrrr, winning session against Ilari “Ziigmund” Sahamies and others have buoyed his losses to Isildur1 and, as a result, Dwan is down $2.6 million overall since Friday.

On Tuesday it appeared as though durrrr was going to recoup some of his losses plus some, as he had Isildur1 stuck as much as $1.7 million. The duo took a break midway through the action after Isildur1 rallied back to be down just $150,000 and a little break seemed to serve Isildur1 well, as he returned to erase his losses completely and book a win on the day against his formidable foe.

How exactly is durrrr dropping so much to this unidentified newcomer to the high stakes scene? Well, almost $700,000 of it can be explained by one of the biggest online poker pots in history. For those expecting some ridiculous bluff with 5 high, you’ll be disappointed to hear it was just a really, really expensive cooler. A series of raises led to all of the money going in preflop with durrrr holding AK to Isildur1′s AA. The T9898 board offered no help to durrrr and, just like that, Dwan was out $350,000.

Another $600,000+ pot on Tuesday involved more inauspicious starting hands. Durrrr raised to $3,000 preflop, Isildur1 made it $12,000 total and durrrr called. Isildur1 bet out $15,000 on the K76 flop and Dwan came along for the turn. The turn brought the 4 and Isildur1 bet around $34,000. Dwan raised all-in for almost $280,000 total and Isildur1 called with 57 for a pair, an open-ended straight draw and a spade flush draw. Dwan had a very similar holding, showing 36 for a pair, a gutshot and a smaller flush draw. The river brought the T and Isildur1 nabbed over $610,000 with just a pair of sevens.

Wednesday’s session brought more of the same for Dwan. In one of the biggest pots of the session, durrrr raised preflop, Isildur1 reraised and durrrr called. Both players check the 775 flop and Isildur1 checked again when the J came on the turn. Dwan fired $17,400, Isildur1 reraised to almost $65,000 and Dwan moved all-in for $176,000 total with AJ and Isildur1 called, showing 7T for trip sevens. Dwan would neat to catch a jack or a heart and, when neither fell on the river, the nearly $385,000 pot went to Isildur1.

Dwan is in Vegas filming “High Stakes Poker” for the next day or two, but he told Isildur1 he would see him on the felt again soon. Whether durrrr is motivated or just masochistic remains to be seen, but it seems as though the heads-up bouts between these two will continue until one is completely busto.
