Phil Ivey Wins $1.1 Million In One Day, $900k From Durrrr

On Tuesday evening, Phil Ivey battled it out with some of the top pros on Full Tilt and won huge pots from Ziigmund, LarsLuzak and most notably, Durrrr.


At the end of the day, Phil was up $1.1 Million and had $1 Million at the table against Durrrr whom he won $900k from in the "Ivey Thunderdome" (Phil Ivey's Headsup Pot Limit Holdem $500/$1000 Room). Only 3 other players have ever reached $1 Million at the table; Phil "OMGClayAiken" Galfond, Ilari "Ziigmund" Sahamies and Tom "durrrr" Dwan.

The largest pot of the day was a $336,590 pot Ivey won against Durrrr in PLO. On the flop, Ivey had Aces, Durrrr had bottom 2 pair(10s and 8s) and open ended straight draw. On the turn, the board paired, giving Ivey a better 2 pair, a river was a blank and Ivey takes down the pot.

The Second Biggest Pot was a $328,790 between Ivey and Durrr; Ivey winning it. Ivey had a open ended straight draw on flop against Durrrr's pocket 10s. Ivey hits his straight on the turn and wins the pot.

In the last headsup hand between Ivey and Durrrr they played a $173,419 pot. They both went all in preflop, Ivey showing Aces with spades, Durrrr being double suited. Ivy hits a flush on the flop and Durrr is drawing dead. You can see a screenshot of the hand below.


A match between Ivey and Dwan for the Durrrr Challenge should be an entertaining one. Hopefully, Dwan doesn't lose too much money before playing with Ivey. Dwan has mentioned if he loses big twice in the first two Durrrr Challenges then he'll decline action from further opponents.
