I was wondering how ziigy made it to the highstakes! Is he just a rich kid or has he worked him up the stairs?
I have seen one clip where ziigmund plays live. He is busting antonius. Do somebody have more clips/links with him live?
Btw: Sick, sick action between gus and ziigmund yesterday  Think ziigmund really hate gus!
Thanks
mr_ bula

| Sahamies was playing pool in his early years. He then met Patrik Antonius and they started playing poker. When Ilari turn out 18-years old, he started to play PLO in Helsinki Grand Casino. He was busto many times and it took few months to build bankroll again in those games. He knew that he was better that other players, but when hole roll is on the line, what do you expect. Anyway soon when he was 18 he started to make money regularly in Grand Casino. Then he moved to online and he has been one of the greatest online players of all time in PLO. Some guys said that he has rich family, but what Sahamies has said in interwiews that he has build his bankroll by making work. Dunno sure. Sry about my english.

The show you saw was called "Poker - The Game" and its on some channel called Kanal 5, I guess its in Finland or something. I saw the clip you're talking about on YouTube, but if anyone knows where I can watch the whole show please let us know. Looks to be a good group of guys. 3 of my favorites, Patrick, Ilari and Tony G.

Thanks a lot for the replies.
Didn't knew that ziigy and antonius was that good friend
@RichOK: Exactly, it was the session on youtube I saw, and I would also love to see the whole show.
I live in Denmark and we have a channel called "Kanal 5" but they haven't showed it

| Before Illari broke through with poker he had a bunch of shitty jobs (working in a gasstation, flipping burgers etc). Funny how succesfull that little group of friends has become: Mikko (Till_I_Collapse), Illari (Ziggmund), Patrick (FinddaGrind), Jani (KobyTapout) and Thomas (Susisu) all made it to the highest levels on full tilt. Quite impressive since it all started in a 200PLO game.

| Thought Id let you all know. Stopped by pokertube.com and notice that the first episode was just uploaded yesterday. So go check it out. Patrick Antonius isnt in it yet, he must be in later episodes. Its in Swedish, btw. No biggie. Good action.
