With everything going on in the poker world Finnish Poker Pro Ilari ‘Ziigmund’ Sahamies, PowerPoker Pro, announced recently that his days playing at FullTiltPoker and PokerStars are over.
Since the beginning of 2010, Sahamies has experienced an incredible downswing, losing over $2 million in the past 16 months. Most of this happened at FTP, after which Sahamies moved over to PokerStars under the screen name ‘Ilari Fin’. This change of venue, however, has done little to halt the downswing, and he has been steadily losing there as well.
While it is doubtful that Sahamies is done with poker for good, we can speculate about where he may go next. His home site may not have the nosebleed action that he prefers; where will the Fin go now? There’s only a handful of online poker sites that currently have the high limits that Zigmund likes to play so we should know soon.
