One of the largest hands of the game was when the board showed : [Jh Kd 3h Tc 8s]. Urindanger [7d 8c] had a pair of eights that he hit on the river while This_is_4_DV [Kc Qh] had flopped a pair of kings. The hand was worth $37,399.50, Urindnager was trying to take the pot by raising each time but was unsuccessful when each time This_is_4_DV called.

Urindanger lost another hand worth $37k when he had [2h Kh] against This_is_4_DV [8d 9d]. The board was [8c 4h 3d 7h Jc] with This_is_4_DV flopping the pair of eights. Again Urindanger bet and everytime This_is_4_DV called and ended up winning the hand.

David Benyamine ($10,245.50) and Mike Schneider ($18,749) played $500/$1000 Limit Hold-em also at the table were Hoss_TBF ($35,484.50) amd OneTimePls ($10,490.50). Later tikimann21, Ugadabugada joined the table.

David Benyamine won a big hand against tikmann21 who flopped trip Kings. He had one KJ in his hand and two kings and a queen were on the board. This would be a good hand if not for David Benyamine who had pocket queens and had flopped a full house. Benyamine won the hand and received the pot worth $11,741.

David Benyamine sat out for awhile before making $20k and during that time Mike Schneider won a couple solid hands.

Through out the game Hoss_TBF had some hard luck and lost $25k. When I left the table the chip counts were:

• ScHnibL0r ($20,000), is sitting out
• Ugadabugada ($34,726)

Pr1nnyraid ($47,296.50) played against MrSmokey1 ($22,299.50) in a heads up a table at FullTilt Poker. The blinds were $100/$200 and the table was “Kraft”.

The game had very small pots for being such a high limit. After I watched for awhile the average pot was only $700 dollars with 59% flop and 187 H/hr. You know its bad when I am looking at a $1200 dollar hand and thinking about putting it in the top hands of the match. The first 30 hands I watched the largest pot was $3.2k…most were pre-flop folds.

Well the game was pretty uneventful after about 100 hands the chip totals were:

MrSmokey1 ($27,298)
pr1nnyraid ($45,393.50)

durrrr ($64,605.50) played against adamkopelman ($44,059.50) in a $200/$400 No Limit Hold-em game at the “Vasari” heads up table at FullTiltPoker.net.

The average pot at the table was $3174 with 196 H/hr and 70 Plr/Flp. The game had a lot of $15k pots and they were definitely willing to raise and call each other down to the river.

There was a large pot where durrr went all-in with a flush draw and adamkopelman called with a flush draw of his own but also had a small pair on the board. The flush never hit which was a good thing for adam who had the lower flush and won the pot worth $51,550.50.

About 5 hands later Adamkopelman went all-in after the river with the cards on the board showing: [5s 4h 4c Td] [Qh] and durrr called and ended up losing to Adamkopelman ‘s three of a kind for a pot worth $100,700.50.

This tipped the scales and at the end of about 70 hands the chips were:

durrrr ($41,999)
adamkopelman ($109,064.50)

I wasn’t planning on writing two posts today but I couldn’t help myself when I saw the Ivey Deathmatch active with Phil Ivey($622,872.50) playing against seda1 ($183,487.25).

At one point in the match it looked like Phil Ivey was going to have over $800k with seda1 holding less then $30k in chips… Well it didn’t last long and seda1 won a couple large pots to tip the scales back a bit. There were a lot of large hands in the match with multiple $100k hands! While watching 50 hands at the table I was able to witness 4 hands that were over $100k.

One of the largest hand of the night (that I saw) was a $161,999.50 where seda1 folded after Phil Ivey re-raised $216,000 after seda1 bet $50k. This betting exchanged happened on the turn with the board showing: [3c 9d 7s Tc].

Well the largest hand that I saw was a $188k pot with an all-in after the flop by seda1. The flop was [8s 6h 7d] and seda1 held [8d 4d] while Phil Ivey had [As Ac]! Looks like seda1 is facing a world of trouble at this point with Phil Ivey dominating (61/34)…this didn’t last long though as the turn was a 3 (nothing there) but the river was another 8 and seda1 takes down the hand!

Wow, Ivey couldn’t be happy at this point.

When I left after about 125 hands the chip count was:

• Phil Ivey ($643,973.75)
• seda1 ($162,357)

Phil Ivey ($68,498.50) played heads up against durrrr ($31,499.50) in the $500/$1000 Ivey Deathmatch. I assume both durrrr and Ivey bought in for $50k because earlier in the day durrr was sitting at the table waiting for Ivey with $50k.

Phil Ivey and Durrr were going back and forth with Durrrr winning a large pot worth $69,997.50 with 2 pair. Then a couple hands later Ivey on a $50k pot with his own two pair. 3 hands later Durrrr won a hand with trip 4′s against Ivey’s KQ and won $95,593.50.

Phil Ivey then bought in for another $50k. The game went back and forth for about 30 hands with no significant hands until Ivey Suffered a huge suckout to durrrr. Durrr had Q5 and Phil Ivey had 310 and the flop was [353]… After the flop there was a raise then re-raise and finally Durrr went all-in. Phil Ivey quickly called and was well ahead at this point until the next card flipped over was a 5! This gave Durrr the full house and the river was no help to either giving the pot worth $72,996 to Durrr.

Phil Ivey bought in for another $50k and then finally won a large pot worth $105,999.50. In the hand, they both had two pair’s but Ivey’s was the bigger of the two. Phil Ivey then won a $50k pot after re-raising durrr.

When I left the heads up game the chip totals were:

Phil Ivey ($133,794.75)
durrrr ($66,182.75)

Phil Ivey ($84,498.50) played heads up $500/$1000 No Limit Hold-em against seda1 ($113,981) in the Ivey Deathmatch table at Full Tilt Poker.com.

I sat down to watch the heads up poker match and 14 hands into it Phil Ivey goes all-in after the turn with the community cards showing: [8h 4d Jh Ts] …. The river was a [2c] and Phil Ivey showed [Qd As] against seda1′s [Ah Td] which gave seda1 the pot worth $150,993.50!

At this point Phil Ivey sat out while seda1 stayed at the table with $198,475.50! This didn’t last long as Ivey bought in for another $25k and resumed the poker match. The $25k didn’t last long (4 hands to be exact) when Phil Ivey lost to pocket jacks in a pot worth $53,644.50.

Phil Ivey is not one to give up and about a minute later bought in again with $100,000. The first hand back Ivey raises $6k pre-flop and then after the flop another $14k which is then re-raised by seda1 to $60k and Ivey promptly folds. Phil Ivey then lasted awhile longer until about 60 hands later he lost two $50k hands in the matter of a couple hands and went broke again… Didn’t take Phil Ivey long to get back on the horse and buy-in again for another $100k!

At this point in the match Phil Ivey has at least lost $200k and has $100k more at the table against seda1′s $300k. Well after watching the match for another 100 hands Phil Ivey had $155k while seda1 had $268k. So Ivey was then down only $150k…

traheho ($44,139) and Bawankawonk ($83,032.50) played heads up No Limit Hold-em at the $200/$400 “Vasari” table at Full Tilt Poker. I haven’t seen either one of these players before so I don’t know what to expect in terms of high stakes hands. But on a Friday night at 11pm (PST) there weren’t any other high stakes tables and I always like watching No Limit tables.

I have watched some heads up matches where its a fold fest to the big blind. Luckily this game wasn’t like that. Every couple hands there was at least a $2k hand and Bawankawonk (long name…probably spelled it wrong but I am too lazy to check…or for that matter change it) won a $18,199.50.
