One of the larger hands at the table was between Phil Ivey and extacymoney. Extacymoney raised to $3,000 and Phil Ivey then re-raised to $9k which extacymoney called. The flop of [2h 9s 8s] came down and Phil Ivey bet $14k and extacymoney raised to $60k which after taking some time Phil Ivey called. The turn was a [Qh] and extacymoney went all-in for his last bit of money ($957.50) and Phil Ivey quickily called. They both show and extacymoney had [9c 5s 9h 5d] while Phil Ivey showed [3d 4d Ad As]. The river of [Jd] didn’t help Ivey and extacymoney won the hand with three of a kind nines and took down the pot worth $139,913.

This isn’t going to be a long report since Phil Ivey left after 39 hands (that I watched). Phil Ivey left with ($156,798.50).

Phil Ivey ($58,500), Howard Lederer ($127,491), trex313 ($35,581.50) Gus Hansen ($105,068.75), durrrr ($50,386), David Oppenheim ($79,594), Niki Jedlicka ($21,497), Chau Giang ($39,497) played at the Ivey Mix at FullTiltPoker.net. Usually there are only 5-6 players max at the table but I guess everyone was feeling like some poker action as the table was filled with 1 on the wait list. Later ziigmund sat down after OnTheRize who was sitting out left the table

It is always interesting when you have a full table because players play tighter (obviously) and their are a lot less hands per hour. The pots though were pretty high with the average at $24k.

The largest hand at the table was between Howard Lederer and Ziigmund. Ziigmund raised to $4,500 after the hole cards and everyone else folded but Lederer. On the flop of [Qc 6d Kd], Lederer checked while Ziigmund bet $10,500. After a little time Lederer raised to $35k which didn’t take long before Ziigmund pushed his stack all-in adding another $64,997 to call….which Lederer eventually did after taking almost all the time he had. The cards where then exposed and Ziigmund had [4d 7s Ks Kc] while Howard Lederer showed [Js Qh Kh Ad]. The turn was a 3s and the river a Ah…not improving Lederer’s hand enough to beat the three of a kind kings of Ziigmund. Ziigmund then raked in the pot worth $214,491.

Phil Ivey left with $98,500.

OMGClayAiken then re-raised to $52,000 and then without hesitation OnTheRize called. At this time they both showed their hands and OMGClayAiken had [6s 7s 9c 8c] while OnTheRize showed [Jh Qd Kd Jc]. The turn and river where 6c and 6h. OMGClayAiken won with a full house sixes full of nines beating OMGClayAiken’s Jacks and Sixes.

Gus Hansen played OMGClayAiken each starting with $50k and I was there from the start. They played at the Hansen Knockout which has a reserved seat for Gus Hansen and has room for one other player. The limits at the table were $500/$1000 and the game was Omaha Hi played at FullTiltPoker.net.

I haven’t written much lately because I have been busy but also because there has been less action at the high stakes tables. This could be because of the tournaments going on right now but hopefully with the holidays over poker players will get back to grinding at the full tilt.net tables and I will have some good high stakes reporting.

The largest hand at the table had Gus Hansen raising to $3k pre-flop and OMGClayAiken raising to $9k, Gus Hansen then took some time and raised it again to $27k which OMGClayAiken then called. The flop was [As 6d Jd] and OMGClayAiken then check’d while Gus Hansen bet $18k…OMGClayAiken took time (most likely taking a deep breath) and then went all-in raising $72,699. Gus Hansen called with his last $20,497.50. At this time they both showed and OMGClayAiken had [Ks Qd 7d Qs] while Gus Hansen showed [5c Jh Ad Ah]. The turn and river were not enough help for OMGClayAiken which were 3s and 3d. Gus Hansen took down the pot with a full house (Aces full of threes) and raked the pot worth $130,995.

At this time OMGClayAiken added $64k to the table making his total $100k which would help him play against the Gus Hansen stack of $130,994.50. Though after 2 hands Gus Hansen commented “Im gonna take a little break with my first win in decades.”….seems like Gus Hansen was on a cold streak and wanted to enjoy his big hand.

When Gus Hansen left he had $129,994.50.

Happy Holidays, I haven’t been posting much because of the holidays but now that they are winding down, I will be back on the computer posting as often as possible (I try to get a couple high stakes reports every week).

This was a good table to watch as the blinds were big and the players are the table weren’t afraid to move their chips. When I first started watching a hand was already in progress and when it was finished durrrr took down a pot worth $185,792 against Ziigmund who mucked after seeing a pair of aces in durrrr’s hand.

The largest hand at the table was a monster with Patrik Antonius and Durrrr playing heads up. Antonius raised to $3500 and Durrrr re-raised to $11,000 which Antonius called. The flop came [Td 8h Jd] and Durrrr bet $16,300 who then saw a re-raise from Antonius to $71,400….after taking some time Durrrr then raised again to $236,700, Antonius thought for a bit and went all-in making Durrrr call an additional $35,926.50. At this point they both showed their hands Patrik Antonius had [8d Qd Ts 6d]
while durrrr showed [Kh Ks Ad 3d]. The turn came 7h and the river was a 6d. Durrr didn’t improve his pocket kings and Patrik Antonius took down the monster pot with two pair and won $567,750.

Phil Ivey ($55,500), Urindanger ($120,148) and MR B 2 U SON ($64,397) played $500/$1000 $30,000 Cap No Limit Hold’em. Also playing at the Alvarez poker table was ioi ($40,006), David Benefield ($51,608), world1969 ($30,538.50) and luvtheWNBA ($40,888).

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 table broke up after about 100+ hands. Players left had:

Phil Ivey ($95,126.50)

The largest hand played at the table was between chatdisabler, jorryvtvh, TheDONKEYNO1and Gus Hansen. Pre-flop chatdisabler raised to $21,200 and right after jorryvtvh went all-in $8,481as well as THEDONKEYNO1 with $16,289 and Gus Hansen called adding another $17k to the pot. The flop came down [Qs 3s 5h] and Gus Hansen then bet all-in with $54, 881 dollars…After somet thinking chatdisabler called and showed [Ks 2c Ac Ah] while Gus Hansen showed [4d 3h 4h 2d], jorryvtvh had [Kc 3d As Ts] and THEDONKEYNO1 with [6d Ad 3c 4c]. On the turn [Kd] and the river [6c]. Gus Hansen then won each pot: The Total pot worth $185,633, Main pot $50,924, Side pot 1 $23,724, Side pot 2 $110,985. I don’t think I ever covered a hand like that before and I don’t think I ever want to again…man that is confusing.

After about 50 hands:

Gus Hansen ($162,027)
chatdisabler ($76,247)

LarsLuzak ($164,599), Phil Ivey ($47,995) and durrrr ($87,397) played $500/$1000 No Limit Hold’em at RailHeaven. The table is a 6 max table and has a reserved seat for Patrik Antonius but at the time he wasn’t playing.

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.

At the end of about 50 hands the chip counts were:

durrrr ($131,992)
LarsLuzak ($218,352)
