Once again the record books need to be updated as the previous record for the largest online poker pot was once again smashed by a monster pot of $1,356,946.50.
This time around the hand included well known poker pro Patrik Antonius and unknown Swede “Isildur1“, prior to the hand both players were stacked at a high stakes $500/$1000 Pot Limit Omaha game at Full Tilt with Isildur1 having about $678k and Antonius approximately $1.26 million.

Preflop the pot was already $160,000 as both players raised and reraised each other.

All the recent action and large pot activity at FullTilt by the unknown Isildur1 begs the question to be asked, just who is Isildur1?
