Every time we enter a new year it’s a players goal to start out with a bang, and to make the new year more profitable than the previous one. For Ilari ‘Ziigmund’ Sahamies that goal is off to a fast start. Sahamies, the high stakes cash game phenom, is already up $1.6 million in the new year after scooping $296K on Wednesday. Sahamies battled the usuals as he took on Cole Smith and Patrik Antonius before walking away a massive victor. It just makes you wonder how much ice is running through the veins of these pokers players that throw around six figures without blinking.
