Web Poker: Phil Ivey Loses Another $600KPoker Pro Stuck In Extended Downswing |
|
Poker pro Phil Ivey just had back-to-back weeks of losing $600,000.
The 10-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner lost $614,528 after 5,600 hands between last Friday and today. Ivey has so far dumped nearly $1.3 million on 2015.
He needed 3,200 hands to lose almost the exact same sum the previous week.
Last year Ivey lost $2.3 million.
Ivey was on the losing end of the largest pot of the week. In a hand of $200-$400 pot-limit Omaha against “Carlooo13”, Ivey got his entire $65,000 stack in holding the K 10 8 7 on a flop reading 10 6 5. His opponent held the A A 5 3.
Ivey wasn’t in great shape against his opponent’s aces and nut-flush draw. According to Card Player’s Omaha Odds Calculator, Ivey loses around 62 percent of the time.
The turn was the 7 and the river the 9 to give the pot to Carlooo13, who used the hand to help him/her end as the biggest winner of the week with nearly $400,000 in winnings.
Phil Galfond was second in winnings with roughly $356,000.
