Malaysian online poker player loses $20 million

Malaysian online poker player nicknamed “ilsy168” has lost over $4 million, but he probably uses several accounts. One of them is Malaysian poker account “fishssssss” that has lost over $7 million and also Malaysian account “good poker.”

How do we know that this is a Malaysian online poker player?

At the poker site, every player chooses their country of origin and all these accounts are playing under the Malaysian flag (look at the picture below where the flag is underlined). W88 is also the best online poker site that accepts Malaysian players and deposits from local Malaysian banks. Smallest cash tables start from couple dollars and go to crazy limits on the top-end. The tournaments played by ilsy168 have a $25 000 buy-in and also re-buys.

These games are played at GGNetwork and the biggest malaysian online casino that offers these tables is www.w88.com.

Recently we wrote article about another Malaysian online poker Paul Teoh player who won World Series of Poker tournament and golden bracelet at W88.

Who is Ilsy186 – The notorious Malaysian online poker gambler?

While this is only speculation, the letters in Ilsy168 could mean Ivan Leow Seng Yee.
He has over $7 million in liver poker tournament wins and holds the sixth place in the Malaysia all-time poker money-list.

The playing style of accounts “good poker” , “ilsy168” and “fishsssssss” are very similar – so are their graphs and the amounts that are beeing lost. Below is the graph for account “fishsssssss”

Is online poker legal in Malaysia?

When choosing an online poker site, it is best to stay away from local websites since these are 100% legal. Big international sites do accept Malaysian players and the good ones use local banks for transactions and offer Ringgit as currency – but when the law wants to make an example of someone I think Malaysian players can get into trouble.
There are cases when local international gambling rings have been shut down and operators punished – there isnt much news about punishing the player.

One important thing to avoid are different kind of “agents”. You will put your money at risk if you win big and operating as an agent is definately illegal. Go with a big site and always gamble responsibly.

2020 World Series of Poker $1000 short deck saw Paul Teoh taking the golden bracelet to Malaysia. Short deck poker is little bit different than regular poker. Short deck is played with 36 cards and some hands are ranked differently. For example flush beats a full house and ace can also be used as 5 to complete smaller straight.

Final Table Action

Canadian poker player Michael Watson was leading the chip count when the final table started. He had 28.3 million in chips and was looking very comfortable.

Things got serious with a three way all-in between Boon Heng Siong AQ, Shota Nakanishi AK and Andrei Konopelko AJ. The flow was 977, 10 in the turn and 8 on the river gave Andrei Konopelko straight and chip lead. Nakanishi took home $6850 for 9^th place and Siong $9345 for 8^th.

Next player to go was Mykhailo Krasnytskyi. Again three players went all-in. Mykhailo was eliminated by AQ of Watson and finished seventh for $12750.

Joseph Orsino found KQs and was called by AJs of Watson. Joseph managed to hit K on the flop but an ace on the turn gave the pot to Watson and Orsino had to leave in fifth place taking home $ 23 730.

Four players remaining

During four handed play Konopelko was bleeding chips and decided to push all-in with AQ. He was calles by KW of Shah and everything looked good until Shah hit a straight on the turn and sent Konopelko backing in fourth with $32 373.

Michael Watson had a great tournament but experienced tremendeous bad luck. His JJ vs 1010 of Teoh got cracked on the river. Only cards remained that would help Theoh, ironically they were JJ. With the J on the river Teoh hit his straight and Michael was sent home in third place $44 166 richer.

The final table started with a comfortable 5/2 chip lead for Teoh. He managed to increase the lead before the final hand was dealt. Teoh was dealt QJ vs AJ of Shas Teoh hit the Q and eliminated Shah who took home $60 254.
