Before the flop Isildur1 made it $3000 and it was called by Patrik Antonius.
The flop came 5 Hearts , 7 Hearts, Queen of Spades.

Isildur1 is a new player on the online poker scene and no one seems to know exactly who it is. The player came out of nowhere and has been playing Tom “Durrr” Dwan on several different occations and has won $3 million over the last week. Most of the $3 million’s was lost to Patrik Antonius during a few hours of play on Monday but Isildur1 will keep on playing for sure. All that people knows about the Isildur1 player is that he plays several extreme highlimit poker games at once and that he is from Sweden.
