Cole South had a super day on Full Tilt Poker on Wednesday. The deck was hot for the CardRunners pro who scored what is probably his record for one day, $1.1 million. Our own Ilari "Ziigmund" Sahamies had to give up $750k, while his fellow countryman Patrik Antonius lost $350k. In the process South also took down the largest pot of the year so far, $634,777 against Ziigmund.


South's run started on Tuesday already, when he met Phil Ivey heads up at 300/600 PLO and took down $152k. Then on Wednesday morning South played Antonius and the Finn's poor run continued as South recorded another win, $350k.

Finally after an 8 hour break South came back to 300/600 PLO and now it was time to play Ziigmund. It started bad for South and at one point he complained being down "like a mill". Presumably the gods of the deck heard him, since his luck turned around right away and he started taking down pots. Finally South won the 4 largest pots in the session, among them the $634k pot. The money went in on the flop, and South's nut flush held against Ziigmund's top set.
