We report on new results from our current X-ray monitoring of the best intermediate mass black hole candidate, the Hyper Luminous X-ray source (HLX-1) in the galaxy ESO 243-49 with the Swift-XRT (Farrell et al. 2009, Nature, 460, 73, Wiersema et al. 2010, ApJL, 721, 102). The source displays spectral hysteresis (transitions from the low/hard state to the thermal state) consistent with those observed in Galactic BH binaries (GBHBs), but with a luminosity 10-100 larger (Godet et al.
