5 biggest losses in poker history

A profitable industry?

#4 Ilari Sahamies

Ziigmund lost a
ton

Better known as Ziigmund, Sahamies rose up the poker ladder like none before him. Specialising in the high stakes pot-limit, the Finland International made a decent name for himself, amassing big money through his gaming passion.

Poker brought with it a new outlook on life for Sahamies who soon turned pro and dedicated his life to the game. That was, however, till drinking and living the high life got the better of the talented Fin and his aggressive approach led to him losing $6 million of his $7 million earnings.
