Isildur1 Taken for a $216K Ride by Cole South

One of the most popular poker players, Isildur1, whose real identity remains unknown, did not have one of his best outings on Monday.

According to PokerTableRankings.com, another player by the name of Cole South managed to grab $216K from Isildur1.  South has been crippled in recent weeks but perhaps he's taking a turn in the right direction now with the Isildur1 win.

The matchup concluded when Cole caught a bit of luck after an action flop saw him all in with a pair of 4's and a straight-flush draw to Isildur1's pair of 6's with a straight draw and dominating flush draw, PokerTableRankings reported. He was a 2-1 dog to win when the money went into the pot.

From PokerTableRankings.com:

Isildur1 seemed to change his approach yesterday by dropping his stakes and playing an opponent with a better history against him, but unfortunately at this stage it hasn't changed his luck. Anyone that has beaten the nosebleed stakes for $5m over 100k hands has to have some serious talent in the game, and by being a bit more conservative with his choice of stakes and opponents, it's not inconceivable that we could once again see Isildur1 crushing the high stakes tables again soon.
