Phil Ivey ($164,091), OMGClayAiken ($128,898) and Ziigmund ($174,491) played $500/$1000 HA (poker mixed game). They played at the Ivey Mix table and with these 3 high stakes players you know you are going to get some monster poker pots and they didn’t disspoint.

One of the hands had all three players go to the flop after a raise by Phil Ivey to $3500 and then a call from OMGClayAiken and Ziigmund. The flop of came [3c Kh 2d] and Ziigmund bet $10,500 and Phil Ivey folded while OMGClayAiken (after checking) took some time and called the bet. The river was a [Td] and this time OMGClayAiken threw out the bet which was $31,500….Taking some time to make a decision Ziigmund wen’t over the top raising it to $122,000 and OMGClayAiken quickily called putting his last $44,299 and was all-in. The river was a [4s]. Ziigmund showed [3h Ad Ks Jc] and had Kings and Threes while
OMGClayAiken had [9s 6d Qs Kd] and only had a pair of kings. Ziigmund then raked in the monster pot worth $183,098 while OMGClayAiken bought in for another $20k.

Another large hand was between Ziigmund and Phil Ivey. Phil Ivey raised to $3k pre-flop which was called. The flop was [Th 5c 6s] and Ziigmund checked while Phil Ivey bet $5k which Ziigmund called. The turn was a [8s] and this time Ziigmund bet $14k … which didn’t phase Phil Ivey who then raised it to $45k which Ziigmund called. The river was a [Qd] and Phil Ivey bet $89k and at this point Ziigmund layed his hand down and Phil Ivey took the hand down mucking his cards and raking in the pot worth $106,500.

The largest hand while watching was between OMGClayAiken and Ziigmund while they were playing Pot Limit Hold-em. OMGClayAiken raised to $3,500 and Ziigmund then re-raised to $11,500 which OMGClayAiken called. The flop was [Qc 7s Jc] and Ziigmundbet $17,000 which OMGClayAiken called after taking some time to think about the decision. The river was a [Qh] and this time Ziigmund threw out a larger bet at $37,000 which was again called by OMGClayAiken. The river was a [Kc] and this time Ziigmund went all-in with $88,884.50 and got a quick call from OMGClayAiken. On the showdown Ziigmund [Qs As] had three of a kind kings while OMGClayAiken [7h 7d] had a full house, Sevens full of queens….OMGClayAiken then raked in the pot worth a cool $309,768!

After watching for about 100 hands the chip counts looked like:

Phil Ivey ($210,881.50)

The largest hand that I saw was between Patrik Antonius and durrrr. Antonius raised to $1200 which durrrr called after the hole cards were dealt. The flop came [Td 6h 2s] and durrrr bet $1,750 while Antonius raised to $7,650 which durrrr called. The turn was a 5h and Patrik Antnoius bet $14,400 and durrrr came right back over the top making it $60,900….after waiting a bit Patrik went all-in with his last $35,738. The showed their cards and durrrr had [8s 4d Ad 3h] while Patrik Antonius showed [9s 6c 8d Tc].

There were a lot of $60k hands, $30k cap for each player…so makes sense there would be lots of them. The first one I watched was between ioi and Daivd Benefield. ioi raised to $3k while Benefield raised to $7,800 which ioi called. The flop of [5h 6h 7c] had ioi checking and David Benefield betting $22k (capping bet) which ioi called. The turn was a Kd and river a Tc….Benefield had QQ while ioi had Jh Ah….Benefield then won the hand as ioi missed his flush and raked in the pot worth $61,497.

Another $60k hand was between Phil Ivey and world1969. Phil Ivey raised $3k pre-flop which was called by world1969. On the flop of [6h 2h Jc] Phil Ivey bet $5k and was then raised to the cap by world1969 bringing the total to call $22k which he did call. Phil Ivey shows [6s Ks] while world1969 showed [Td 8d]. The turn and river were Ad and Jd respectively. Phil Ivey had the hand on the all-in and indeed held his lead on the turn and river and won the $61,497 pot.

The first hand that I watched which was a partial hand since I started watching mid way in the hand was a good one with a pot of $87,397 won by Durrrr against LarsLuzak. Durrrr went all-in after the river and was called by LarsLuzak….When they showed their cards Durrrr showed two pair, aces and threes and took the pot down.

The largest hand that was played at the table was between Phil ivey and LarsLuzak. After the hole cards were dealt LarsLuzak raised to $3,500 and was then re-raised to $11,500 by Phil Ivey…It didn’t take long for LarsLuzak to shove all-in. He had Phil Ivey covered and Ivey called with the rest of his chips which was $37,874. They both flipped over their hands and LarsLuzak had pocket queens while Phil Ivey had As9d. The flop wasn’t good for Phil Ivey as a queen hit as well as a k and a 4. The turn of a 7 and final a 5 didn’t help the cause and Phil Ivey lost the hand worth $99,747.

The table had some pretty good hands with the average pot at the table: $7,462. One of the poker hands that was noteable was during Limt Hold-em. After the hole cards Phil Ivey raised to $4,000 and was then re-raised to $6k which he called. After the flop son bet $2k and was then raised to $4k and re-raised to $6k which Ivey called. On the turn Son bet $4k and was raised to $8k which he called. Finally on the river Son tried to slow it down by checking which didn’t stop Phil Ivey from betting and eventually taking the hand after Son folded. Phil Ivey won the $40k pot.

Another large hand was again in Limit Hold-em and after the hold cards were dealt Ivey raised to $4k which was called by Son. After the flop, Son checked, Ivey Bet $2k, Son then raised to $4k and Ivey re-raised to $6k which son called. After the turn Son checked and Ivey bet $4k which was called.

Although the blinds were high the game wasn’t as high stakes as you would guess (or at least what I would expect). The average hand played at the table was $6203…which doesn’t seem to low but most of the hands were in the 3-4k with a couple in the $10k range. The largest hand I saw played was $13,998.

There weren’t very many exciting hands to talk about because of the hands not going very far. There were lots of checks or minimum bets. We needed a maniac at the table to get some money in the middle…One of the hands that I talked about previously was the $13,998 hand. It was won by PixKim against DIN_FRU. This hand had both players betting and raising. In the end, after all the betting DIN_FRU folded after the river after betting $1k and then being raised another $1k by PixKim which finally convinced DIN_FRU to lay the hand down.

At the end of about 60 hands the chip counts were:

• Eli Elezra ($13,108.25)
• PixKim ($54,800.95)
• Matt Hawrilenko ($10,892.65)
• bixiu ($14,998)

The table was averaging I would say about $10k-$15k, I didn’t actually see the hand average so it could definitely be off. Most of the bigger hands were $18-$20k…With it being limit there were a lot of hands in that range and a little below.

The larger hand at the table was between vlindermes and BusterLove. There was a lot of raises and re-raises and in the end vlindermes had the nuts on the flop. The flop of [8h 7c Td] and with his hand of [Jc 9d] had a jack high straight. Buster Love went the whole way and ended up mucking his hand.
