Poker Pro Phil Ivey Loses $968K OnlineIvey's Downswing Online Continues |
|
Still missing from the 2015 World Series of Poker, gambling legend Phil Ivey has been playing online poker from Macau and managed to drop $968,000 this past weekend.
Ivey played roughly 3,500 hands between Friday and Sunday and lost nearly seven figures, according to the tracking data from HighstakesDB. The losses were on PokerStars.
Between that site and Full Tilt, Ivey has lost roughly $2.18 million this year.
The 10-time bracelet winner recently fell four bracelets behind Phil Hellmuth, who won his 14th in the $10,000 Razz Championship this week.
Ivey is believed to be heading to Las Vegas next week, which would get him in Sin City just in time for the $50,000 buy-in Poker Players Championship.
On the other side of the online poker leader board from the past seven days is Cort “thecortster” Kibler-Melby who managed to win $733,000 during the stretch. Like Ivey, Kibler-Melby was primarily playing the high-stakes draw games.
The huge loss and win for Ivey and Kibler-Melby, respectively, came despite no pot during the week-long period exceeding $80,000. The largest hands came from $100-$200 pot-limit Omaha sessions involving Ilari “Ilari FIN” Sahamies and unknown account “WithColor.”
Sahamies had a solid week, winning nearly $114,000.
Viktor “Isildur1” Blom, who also hasn’t shown up at the 2015 WSOP and isn’t expected to do so, lost roughly $88,000 over the week. Blom created quite a buzz at the 2012 WSOP, which was his first time attending. He has stuck to online play and tournaments in Europe since.
Blom is down close to $1 million so far this year.
