After the National Heads Up Championship drew to a close, many Full Tilt Poker pros hit the tables online. Phil Ivey, of course, being one of them. He didn't waste much time before getting into a battle with Tom "durrr" Dwan.
The first featured hand occurred between Phil Ivey and Durrrr. It was during a $500/$1000 Pot Limit Omaha hand as Ivey held 5s-Qc-7h-4s. Preflop, from the small blind, Ivey raised to $3,000 and as usual, Durrrr raised to $9,000. Ivey called and the players saw a flop of 6c-4d-Qh giving Ivey top and bottom pair. Ivey led out for $14,000 and Durrrr raised to $49,000 and before you could blink, both players were all in and the pot had $401,999. Durrrr showed Ad-7d-5c-6d for middle pair, an open ended straight draw and backdoor diamond flush draw.
The turn was the of diamonds giving Durrrr two pair that still trailed Ivey’s two pair of Queens and 5’s but also gave him an open ended straight flush draw. However, the river was the Jack of clubs, a total brick and Ivey scooped the enormous pot.
Over the course of the session Phil Ivey ended up over $374k in the black over multiple tables.
