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 QSpade Suit 10Spade Suit 2Heart Suit.

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 7Diamond Suit, while the river was the 7Club Suit.

Their cards:

fjutekk: KClub Suit KDiamond Suit 10Heart Suit 10Diamond Suit
Ivey: AClub Suit KSpade Suit 4Club Suit 5Spade Suit
BERRI SWEET: ASpade Suit AHeart Suit 9Club Suit 5Diamond Suit

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.
