I first read the ziig blow ups and chat thread and became a fan of Ilari in June 2011 and posted in it hoping that I could witness his return to the top some day soon. At the time he was just above breakeven on High Stakes DB (having lost on Stars only a little less than what he'd won on FTP) and couldn't seem to put two winning sessions together.
Since then he's won about $2.5 million on Stars, is one of the few who consistently play 200/400 PLO, came 4th in the Barcelona Super High Roller and is now chip leader going into the Main Event.
