|
Poker pro Phil Ivey dropped $417,602 over the past week playing under his “RaiseOnce” screen name on PokerStars. The 10-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner logged 6,100 hands during the week, according to tracking data from HighstakesDB.
Other big losers on the week include Viktor “Isildur1” Blom (-$282,040), “ClockWyze” (-$134,579) and Ilari “Ilari FIN” Sahamies (-$104,440). Blom is still up a strong $2.14 million on 2015.
The biggest winners on the week were “Crazy Elior” ($346,429), Ben “Ben86” Tollerene ($166,108), “BERRI SWEET” ($154,714), “CrownUpGuy” ($132,546) and “Colisea” ($122,436).
Patrik “Fake Love888” Antonius ($82,481), Ben “Sauce123” Sulsky ($66,206), Dan “w00ki3z” Cates ($52,130) and Ronny “1-ronnyr3” Kaiser ($50,744) all had winning weeks as well.
One of the largest hands during the week was a $158,000 pot at $200-$400 pot-limit Omaha. The hand was played Monday between Ivey, BERRI SWEET and PokerStars account “fjutekk”.
BERRI SWEET started the action by raising to $1,700. Kaiser folded on the button and fjutekk three-bet to $5,900 from the small blind. Ivey called from the big blind, and BERRI SWEET four-bet to $23,000. Both fjutekk and Ivey called, despite not having much behind.
The flop fell Q 10 2.
Fjutekk went all in for about $24,000, and Ivey went all in for $32,000. Given pretty decent pot odds, BERRI SWEET decided to make the call, having both players covered.
The turn brought the 7, while the river was the 7.
Their cards:
fjutekk: K K 10 10
Ivey: A K 4 5
BERRI SWEET: A A 9 5
Fjutekk had flopped mid-set and it held against Ivey’s second-nut-flush draw and gut-shot straight draw. BERRI SWEET was drawing slim with just one ace in the deck to give him a better set.
The hand helped bring Ivey’s losses on PokerStars this year to $2,381,013. He is down $1,250,806 on PokerStars’ sister site Full Tilt in 2015.
