Full Tilt Poker was back at it again on Tuesday with high stakes mixed games. This time, three of the biggest players in the world joined the action. UarePileous and DIN_FRU were joined by Full Tilt Poker Online pro Jani Vilmunen in the action. The high stakes hands didn’t take very long, when Jani Vilmunen won the first pot of $4500 with ace high.

‘DIN_FRU’ took this next hand in the Limit Hold’Em round with a $1000 bet on the river, forcing UarePileous to fold.

The biggest hand to this point took place, also in Hold’Em, this time between Jani Vilmunen and UarePileous who took the hand with a full house. The pot was worth over $9000.

UarePileous took another big pot, this time for $6500 with a $1000 bet on the river.

The short winning streak came to an end when a flush draw missed and DIN_FRU took this hand with three aces.

The game switched to Stud H/L. While many hands end up being split between players, this was an exception. With no qualifying low, DIN_FRU scooped the entire pot with a full house, sixes full of deuces.

DIN_FRU took another big pot, this time in Razz with a bet on seventh street.

The game once again switched, this time to Stud Hi. DIN_FRU took another huge pot here, this time for nearly $14,000 with aces up.

The streak continued again, when ‘DIN_FRU’ won another big pot off ‘UarePileous,’ this time in Pot Limit Omaha. Aces held, and ‘DIN_FRU’ took the pot of over $8500.

As was the trend in the final few hands, DIN_FRU was the winner on the session, taking most of the winning, just about $30,000 total, from his main nemesis of the day, UarePileous.

I was looking for high stakes NL or Pot Limit Omaha and stumbled upon nosebleed 1500/3000 Limit 7 Game at Full Tilt Poker. The session ended with David Oppenheim coming close to breaking even after a tilty session that had a debate on high stakes mixed game poker etiquette.

This would be the turning point where David would go on small rush and win some of his money back

David would win this huge pot and Urindanger would politely promise to play him soon and would walk with his wins. Urindanger decided to take a shot at one of the top 5 limit mixed game players in the world. He would soon make the wise decision to sit out.

Earlier there would be a unanimous decision that Observer84 was sitting out his bad games and had attempted to hit and run in 7 game mix. He would later agree to play an orbit to appease the high stakes players.

UarePileous: obs, u know u cant sit out and play no limit
UarePileous: all of a sudden
David Oppenheim: pilaeus is right you shouldn’t do that
EazyPeazy: i hear full tilt is making a specail program for you to separate the stub opie

Observer84: hmm just wanted to gamble and nothing around
Urindanger: lol
Urindanger: he sits in the NL rounds then leaves?
Urindanger: no way anyone would do that
EazyPeazy: even uridanger who is a plo specialist plays all the games
UarePileous: if u dont play all games
UarePileous: ur gonna be reported
UarePileous: i mean this is 7 games maybe u didnt know u cant just play 3 of them
David Oppenheim: it seems from the chat that he doesnt really care if he gets reported or that its wron to do
Observer84: yup you are right just nothing going on so I wanted to play 30 hands and chill
Observer84: i could play omaha which I have basically less than 20hours expierence in
Observer84: that was my plan actually..
UarePileous: doesnt really matter

The big Full Tilt Poker high limit mixed games went off again on Tuesday. The first of the two big tables going off saw David Oppenheim take on Brian Townsend screen name ’sbrugby.’ The first hand we saw saw Oppenheim lay a Stud hand down on the river to Townsend’s $3000 bet.

The next hand saw a massive pot get all of Oppenheim’s money in the middle. Although he flopped top pair, he was way behind Townsend’s flopped top set. He didn’t get there, and Townsend won the pot for more than $50,000.

David Oppenheim re-bought, and the games continued. This hand saw Townsend make a min-raise of an additional $1800, forcing Oppenheim to lay his hand down and leave himself with yet another short stack.

In the Limit Hold’Em game, all the money went in on the flop. Oppenheim had a bleak king high and didn’t get there, once again losing his stack to Townsend.

Oppenheim finally got some back in this hand. Flopping top pair top kicker, Oppenheim faced a big bet on the river. He made the call, picking off Townsend’s missed flush draw bluff for a pot of $60,000.

This was enough for Oppenheim. Only being down around $20,000 at this point in the game, he opted out and left the table. Townsend also left, but it didn’t take long for both seats to fill. High limit pro Gus Hansen took one seat. As is expected at these limits, it didn’t take long for Hansen to find an opponent, as Brian Hastings joined him at the table. The first big hand played by the two came in this pot of PLO. Hansen made a pot sized bet on the turn, which was good enough to force Hastings out.

Hastings got the better of Hansen in this hand with a raise on the river.

Hastings won another big pot, this time in the Stud H/L round. Three kings were good enough for the scoop and most of Hansen’s chips.

Hansen bought back with a big stack and won another big hand on seventh street of the Stud Hi round.

On the sessions, the two winners were both Brian Hastings and Brian Townsend, taking home a little more than $50,000 and $20,000 each.
