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)
Phil Ivey ($0)

The turn was a 2h and Phil Ivey took his time and eventually threw out a bet of $29k which Brian Hastings then taking his time raising it to $68k….Phil Ivey though and even requested time but threw away the hand giving Brian Hastings the pot worth $94,000.

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.

Phil Ivey ($353,832) played against Matt Hawrilenko ($65,992.50) at the $2000/$4000 Limit Hold’em table at FullTilt. They played at Hawrilenko’s table which is a heads up table.

This was one of the fastest games I have ever watched. They was not much waiting (thinking) during the game and at times just watching was hard because it seemed like they were playing at least 300+ hands per hour. You would be watching one hand, look away, and all of the sudden there is a new flop and a couple bets.

I started watching pretty late in the game since Ivey had $300k while Matt Hawrilenko only had $65k. The first 15 hands I watched Matt went down to $20k but then won a streak of hands and over the course of about 10 hands and about 10 seconds (well, not that fast….) and all of the sudden had a respectiable $131k.

Well it didn’t last long until Phil Ivey was able to tip the game back to his control. After about 50 more hands Matt Harilenko went broke at the table. When he finally lost his chips he said “alright, you’re officially cut off for a while”, “gg” and Phil Ivey replied “thx”, “best of luck” and Matt Hawrilenko left by saying “ty, u2″.

At the end Phil ivey left with $418k.

durrrr ($196,097), Phil Ivey ($702,506.50), John Juanda ($373,484.50), Urindanger ($220,214.50) and elmariachimacho ($68,268) played at the $500/$1000 No Limit hold-em table. The table name is RailHeaven (6 max) and it didn’t disappoint.

You know it’s a good game when the $50k hands are not that interesting. There are a lot of hands in the hand history after the jump but I am going to talk about two huge hands in particular. When you see how much the pots were worth you will know why….

One of the hands was between Urindanger and John Juanda. On a flop of [Jc Kh 6h] Phil Ivey checks, Urindanger checks and John Juanda bet $7,800. Phil Ivey then disconnects and ends up having to fold the hand because his time ran out while Urindanger raises to $26,000k which is called by John after thinking about it for about 10 seconds. The turn was a [8c] and Urindanger takes his time and then throws out a $48k bet which Juanda then takes time and decides to throw all his money in $357,777.50….Urindanger is covered but is still about to call with $125,714.50. They both flip over their cards and Juanda shows [JhKs] (two pair so far) while Urindanger has [6d Kd] (two pair…but smaller second pair). The river comes down a [Qs] no help to Urindanger and Juanda collects the pot worth $408,429!

The next hand was between Phil ivey, elmariachimacho and durrrr. On a flop of [Jh 3c 4h] durrrr bets $7,300 and gets called by both players. The turn was a [8s] and durrrr makes a continuation bet of $27,400 which was called by Phil Ivey while elmariachimacho folded. The river card was a [3d] and durrrr this time checks while Phil Ivey bet $68k …. time went by and durrrr then went all-in raising the pot to $182,477.50. Which after requesting time and thinking on it Phil Ivey called. When they showed their cards durrrr shows a [5c Ad] …. uhhh playing the board…You have NOTHING?!?!? while Phil Ivey has [Qh Jc] and had two pair. Phil Ivey took down the pot and was able to read durrrr’s monster bluff and with that took the massive $451,155 pot.

There were a lot of other good hands and I encourage to to check out the hand history below. After about 150 hands and Phil Ivey leaving the table the chips looked like:

elmariachimacho ($88,067)
John Juanda ($601,320)

This post is going to be somewhat short because I watched the tail end of the game and saw a couple big pots but didn’t see enough action to give a good report. I was able to see about 40 hands. There were points while I was watching when players would sit in and out…so even the 40 hands I watched weren’t the best.

Well after what I am sure are low hopes on your end I will start with a hand between Phil Ivey and David Benyamine. On 4th street where the betting started had Benyamine bet $2k which Ivey called. On 5th street Benaymine bet $4k and Ivey raised to $8k, which David Benyamine called. On 6th street this time Ivey bet $4k and Benyamine called. 7th street same deal with Ivey betting and David Benyamine calling. On the showdown Phil Ivey showed a full house tens full of fives and took down the pot worth $41,198.

• John Juanda ($149,092), is sitting out

There were a couple big hands played while I watched the table. One was when LarsLuzak raised $3k after the whole cards were dealt and Ivey called. After the flop of [Jh 3s Jc] LarsLuzak bet $4k and was was raised by Ivey for an additional $12k which then LarsLuzak re-raised again to $29,600…Phil Ivey then re-re-raised to $47,200 which at this point LarsLuzak folded his cards and Phil Ivey took down the pot worth $65, 199.50.

Phil Ivey showed two pair eights and sixes while LarsLuzak had a eight high straight. LarsLuzak took the pot worth $77,999.50.

The high stake poker hand at the table was bigger then both of the two pots that I just went over. It was between David Benyamine and LarsLuzak. After the hole cards were dealt Benyamine raised to $3k which LarsLuzakcalled. On the flop of [Kh 7h Qs] Luzak checked and Benyamine bet $4k which was called by Luzak. The turn [2h] had Luzak checking and Benyamine betting once again $4k which was then alled. On the turn [2h] was dealt and this time Benyamine bet $12k after Luzak checked which again was called. On the river [4d] came down and Benyamine bet $34k after LarsLuzak checked again…This time Luzak thought for awhile and then bet $127,191 going all-in. David Benyamine then quickly called for the rest of his stack which was $41,995….On the showdown LarsLuzak flipped over [3h Ah] and had an ace high flush….Benyamine folded and LarsLuzak raked in the monster pot worth $189,990.50!
