In what could be seen as a warmup for the "durrrnament" or as Phil Ivey's rise back to 2008 level profits. Phil Ivey played Tom Dwan on Full Tilt the other day and won some huge pots. Surprised? Didn't think so.

The hand was Pot Limit Hold-em and Phil Ivey raised to $3k which durrrr called. The flop was [Td 3s 4s] and durrrr checked while Phil Ivey bet $4k which durrrr then raised to $13,300 which Ivey called. The turn was a  [Ts] and after a bit of thinking durrrr bet $23,600 which Ivey then raised to $74,000 which didn’t take long before durrrr raised all-in….which cost Phil Ivey an additional  $36,385.50 to call as he went all-in (and was the smaller stack). At this time durrrr showed [Tc Ac] while Phil Ivey had the flush with [8s Js]. The river was a [Qh] not improving either hand and Phil Ivey took down the monster pot worth $253,370.50.

This was quite the pot for Phil, but he didn't stop there. Just a few hands later this went down.

Ivey raising to $3k pre-flop and durrrr re-raising to $9k which Phil Ivey called. The flop was [Js Th 8h] and durrrr bet $11.4k which Ivey called. The turn was a [5d] and durrrr waited and then bet $31,200 which Ivey called. The river was [2h] and durrrr checked which Ivey followed suit. Durrrr showed a straight while Phil Ivey showed a ten high flush and took the pot worth $103,199.50.

This put Ivey up just over $300k for the session. Not bad for a day's work. Ivey has said in the past that Dwan could be the heir to his poker throne, but it doesn't look like he's ready to relinquish it just yet.
