Trex313, Dustin Dirksen and Aeron73 Play Pot Limit Omaha

Thursday, January 31st, 2008

Trex313 ($31,991), Dustin Dirksen ($9,697),  toesanders ($27,349),  Pokalechy2 ($34,669) and Aeron73 ($7,000) played $200/$400 Pot Limit Omaha Hi at FullTiltPoker.com. They were all playing at multiple tables but I focused on this table because it had the highest hand average.

The largest hand of the table was when toesanders beat trex313 and Dustin Dirksen with 3 aces against trex313’s 3 eights and Dirksen mucked his hand.

Phil Ivey Plays seda1 in the Ivey Deathmatch

Tuesday, January 29th, 2008

Phil Ivey was not done for the day and he seemed unfazed by the huge loss to Ziigmund in Pot Limit Omaha earlier in the night. He sat down at the Ivey Deathmatch No Limit Hold-em table against seda1. The chip counts were: Ivey ($201,494)
and seda1 ($182,485.50).

There were a couple $15k  plus hands but the two large hands in the game were both won by Phil Ivey. The pots were $161,999.50 and $99,967.50 both of them were won with trip cards by Ivey. Phil Ivey then won two $50k plus hands to finish off seda1 and at the end Ivey had $470,966.50. (more…)

Phil Ivey vs Ziigmund $500/$1000 Pot Limit Omaha Hi

Tuesday, January 29th, 2008

Phil Ivey - FullTilt Poker.comPhil Ivey ($282,487.50) played heads up against Ziigmund ($124,499) in a $500/$1000 Pot Limit Omaha Hi game at FullTilt Poker.com. This game was definitely high stakes with each having over $100k and Phil Ivey not messing around with over a quarter million dollars at the table.

At times it was hard to pick the better hands because they weren’t going past the flop and the hands were averaging $12k.

One hand in particular that was insane was a hand that was worth $125,999.50.  Ziigmund started the hand with a raise which Phil Ivey then re-raised. After the flop Ivey bet $14k which was called by Ziigmund.  After the turn Phil Ivey bet $40k which Ziigmund used time and eventually went over the top all-in. Phil Ivey then used time before his call but eventually folded the hand…the board showed: [3h 5s 9d Ad].

The match ended with the biggest hand I have ever written about…Phil Ivey lost with a king high straight against Ziigmund’s Ace high straight. The pot was worth $399,984.50. Phil Ivey sat out of the hand with the final chip counts: Seat  Phil Ivey ($153,464.75) and Ziigmund ($399,984.50)!

Tony G Plays at Full Tilt Poker.com

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008

I was on vacation (in vegas) and wasn’t able to post for a couple days. What a better way to come back then have commentary of a game that Tony G played in. I haven’t seen Tony G at full tilt poker.com but have seen him play at tournaments and cash games on TV.

Tony G ($62,095.50) was heads up against  trex313 ($42,698.50) in a $200/$400 Pot Limit Omaha game. The table was actually a 6 person table but at the time I watched it had only two players. (Midway through the game rumprammer joined in on the action)

Tony G left the table when he lost three of a kind 5’s to three of a kind jacks. The hand was  worth $86,578.

David Oppenheim plays Oslo Donald in Limit Hold-em

Tuesday, January 15th, 2008

Well two days in a row I will be covering David Oppenheim. There haven’t been many high stakes games at full tilt poker.com as I have been checking periodically through out the day. This may be due to a tournament that is happening, I know the Aussie Millions is currently under way and professionals may be there playing instead of online.

Well back to the game at hand. David Oppenheim ($70,159.50) played against Oslo Donald ($29,652) in a $500/$1000 Limit Hold-em game. The table was “tiger” a heads up table at fulltilt.

The game came to a halt when David Oppenheim started to sit out the chip totals were: Oslo Donald ($50,387.50)
and David Oppenheim ($69,398). It seemed at one point Oppenheim was going to run away with the game as Donald only had $12k but this was short lived and Donald fought his way back.
