Wait a minute, did Phil Ivey lose a pot?
While it seems unthinkable to some, it actually happened early this morning when Ivey was playing on a Full Tilt table that included David Benyamine, Ilari “Ziigmund” Sahamies, Di “Urindanger” Dang and John Juanda. The game was $300/$600 Pot-Limit Omaha and, as is usually the case with PLO, several epic pots were shipped. In the biggest hand of the session Ivey had aces in the hole, Ziigmund hit two pair on the flop and Dang flopped a set of kings. Ivey shoved on the flop for his last $63k, Dang re-shoved and Ziigmund called. The turn and river were bricks and Dang won the pot, which tipped the scales at $322,803. Good enough to be the biggest pot of the day. If you take a look at our MarketPulse top 100 pots you’ll notice that Ivey also dropped a $214k pot to David Benyamine, but he also won two pots worth nearly $200k. It’s not known exactly what Ivey finished the session with but it’s likely he’s still up for the year considering he had already profited $2 million online. Of course
