Kagome Kagome Continues Dominance of Phil IveyPatrik Antonius Has Monster Session Playing Omaha Eight-or-Better |
|
On Saturday, Kagome Kagome won $145,000 from Phil Ivey in about 100 hands of $3,000-$6,000 limit hold’em on Full Tilt Poker.
Ivey left the session with a stack of $36,000, while his German opponent, whom Ivey has said is superior at limit hold’em, sat with about $383,000 when the duel was over. The loss brings the eight-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner’s lifetime deficit versus the 21-year-old to more than $500,000. In a recent Card Player interview, Kagome Kagome talked about his battles with Ivey.
Although Ivey had a immensely profitable session playing limit deuce-to-seven triple draw last week, the past seven days have him in the red about $400,000 on the virtual felt. He unsuccessfully took on Dan “jungleman12” Cates at $300-$600 pot-limit Omaha on Friday. The largest pot the session was a massive $270,000 confrontation, where all the money went in on a A
J 8
flop. Cates held the A
A
3 2 for top set and a flush draw. Ivey exposed the A 7 K 10 for a superior flush draw, plus a double gut-shot straight draw.
According to Card Player’s Omaha Odds Calculator, Cates’ hand holds up about 58 percent of the time with top set. The players elected to run it only once, and the board bricked out for Ivey. Cates scooped the quarter-million-dollar pot.
In addition to the action at the nosebleed limit hold’em and pot-limit Omaha tables this past weekend, there was some intense friction created at the rarely played $2,000-$4,000 limit Omaha eight-or-better.
The game, which featured Patrik Antonius, Gus Hansen, and NEKOTYAN, ended in a $450,000 win for Antonius. NEKOTYAN was massacred at the hands of the Finnish poker pro, and he also provided funds for Hansen, who was a small winner in the match.
