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.

Mark Vos ($5,695) played against tommyboy83 ($7,194), Stuart Paterson ($5,079) and Farzad Bonyadi (8k).

During the game there was a lot of chat between the players and MarkVos was talking about Steve (aka stevesbets, glove55) doing well against him:

One of the Obs said that Steve won a large pot and may come sit down at the $200/$400 Limit Omaha H/L table.

Mark Vos: steve always wins
Mark Vos: not sure why we’d want him here

Mark Vos: lol
Mark Vos: ive honestly never seen him lose

tommyboy83: he has been runnin hot though
tommyboy83: he told me he was down 200k this week in
this game
tommyboy83: so i dont know who got the money

Mark Vos: ive never beaten him
Mark Vos: he’s up like 100k on me in this game and im up in
this game

Seems like Mark Vos has had some trouble with Steve and is clearly not wanting to play him anytime soon.

There were not many team full tilt pro’s on tonight at full tilt poker. I watched a game with Stuart Paterson ($7,962), Aaron Bartley ($4,271), Draught20 ($3,794), 888poker ($943.50), Consciousness ($6,823) and 999_999s ($3,981.50). It was Limit Omaha H/L $100/$200. The game was playing pretty slow with only a couple hands over a couple thousand dollars. There was one hand between Stuart Paterson and Draught20 where they were capping the bets…it ended up with Draught20 winning with an ace high flush.
