Isildur1 broke even even with his awful losses since last Friday, while Ilari FIN is the biggest winner of the last 2 days with a profit of around $416,000. This is a remarkable achievement, as the Finnish player is playing the $5,300 EPT Barcelona Main Event, and he can easily find himself at the final table; he is currently 12th out of the 24 remaining players.
Besides the fantastic play, there is one important question raised. Sahamies is currently in Spain, which is a regulated and closed market and Sahamies shouldn't be able to play the global PokerStars client. Of course it is possible that he applied for an exclusive permit, it is also possible he was using a proxy server, or some other trickery.
