South loses a million

The successful online poker pro Cole South is renowned for making big wins on a regular basis, however, his form has dipped of late.
Around a month ago Cole won a million dollars plus in a day's play, and was hailed as one of the most successful online poker players around.
However, he has just dropped a million dollars in a competitive match he played against two seasoned players.
Playing Omaha poker, he lost the large sum against the two online poker veterans Tom Dwann and Ilari Sahamies.
There were two major pots in particular that cost South almost half of the money he eventually lost.
Mr Sahamies took the first pot in question, managing to take in nearly three million dollars in winnings in that one pot.
Even though South took losses that most people would view as being shocking and life changing, he is still doing well enough in his poker career to not have to worry too much.
His record in online poker to date makes him one of the most successful online poker stars around, and it is expected that he will continue to make major wins as the season continues.
