Gus Hansen ($18,593), durrrr ($43,744) and CHUFTY ($6,950) played $200/$400 Pot Limit Omaha at the “Panthoen” 6 max table at Full Tilt.net. Also at the table was: The_Houdini ($5,948), MUCKEMSAYUHH ($108,373) and PostflopAction ($13,997).

I usually don’t post incomplete hand histories but the first hand I watched I really felt like I needed too. It was a hand between Gus Hansen and MUCKEMSAYUHH. MUCKEMSAYUHH had a straight while Gus Hansen had two pair with the community cards showing [3c 2c 6s 2d Qs]. MUCKEMSAYUHH won the pot worth $108,373 after going all-in against Hansen after the river card.

Well after 30 hands there was a lot of turnover with Hansen, CHUFTY (sitting out) and durrr leaving the table.  MUCKEMSAYUHH was taking all their money the chip counts at the point I stopped watching was:

• CHUFTY ($8,000), is sitting out
• The_Houdini ($12,779)
• MUCKEMSAYUHH ($132,612)
• Moish5 ($8,000), is sitting out
• Urindanger ($8,000)
• PapaGreggio ($9,600)

Gus Hansen ($39,988) played $200/$400  Pot Limit Omaha against Luck123 ($8,000), Markus Golser ($10,983),  CHUFTY ($17,993), KObyTAPOUT ($27,342) and the TheOcean0 ($16,195).

There were a lot of Pot Limit Omaha games going on today…actually the most I have ever seen…. 8 tables of Pot Limit were being played and Gus Hansen was playing in 4 of them and Markus Golser was in 7! The one game I was watching Markus Golser wasn’t sitting at and it was the”Thistle” a 6 max table. I picked the table because the average pot size was over $10k.

Well everything changed after watching for 7 hands…Gus Hansen left the table and Markus Golser ($10k) and LucLongley ($8k) sat down.

Well a little while later Gus Hansen and OMGClayAiken both joined the table and began playing with Markus Golser, CHUFTY and The_Houdini.

After more then 50 hands the chip counts were:

• Urindanger ($6,600)
• The_Houdini ($10,996)
• Gus Hansen ($10,800)
• Markus Golser ($21,852.50)
• CHUFTY ($13,197.50)
• OMGClayAiken ($16,594.50)

durrrr ($64,605.50) played against adamkopelman ($44,059.50) in a $200/$400 No Limit Hold-em game at the “Vasari” heads up table at FullTiltPoker.net.

The average pot at the table was $3174 with 196 H/hr and 70 Plr/Flp. The game had a lot of $15k pots and they were definitely willing to raise and call each other down to the river.

There was a large pot where durrr went all-in with a flush draw and adamkopelman called with a flush draw of his own but also had a small pair on the board. The flush never hit which was a good thing for adam who had the lower flush and won the pot worth $51,550.50.

About 5 hands later Adamkopelman went all-in after the river with the cards on the board showing: [5s 4h 4c Td] [Qh] and durrr called and ended up losing to Adamkopelman ’s three of a kind for a pot worth $100,700.50.

This tipped the scales and at the end of about 70 hands the chips were:

durrrr ($41,999)
adamkopelman ($109,064.50)

I wasn’t planning on writing two posts today but I couldn’t help myself when I saw the Ivey Deathmatch active with Phil Ivey($622,872.50)  playing against seda1 ($183,487.25).

At one point in the match it looked like Phil Ivey was going to have over $800k with seda1 holding less then $30k in chips… Well it didn’t last long and seda1 won a couple large pots to tip the scales back a bit. There were a lot of large hands in the match with multiple $100k hands! While watching 50 hands at the table I was able to witness 4 hands that were over $100k.

One of the largest hand of the night (that I saw) was a $161,999.50 where seda1 folded after Phil Ivey re-raised $216,000 after seda1 bet $50k. This betting exchanged happened on the turn with the board showing: [3c 9d 7s Tc].

Well the largest hand that I saw was a $188k pot with an all-in after the flop by seda1. The flop was [8s 6h 7d] and seda1 held [8d 4d] while Phil Ivey had [As Ac]! Looks like seda1 is facing a world of trouble at this point with Phil Ivey dominating (61/34)…this didn’t last long though as the turn was a 3 (nothing there) but the river was another 8 and seda1 takes down the hand!

Wow, Ivey couldn’t be happy at this point.

When I left after about 125 hands the chip count was:

• Phil Ivey ($643,973.75)
• seda1 ($162,357)

Mike Matusow ($6,294.50) played $200/$400 Limit Omaha H/L against Boosted J ($7,964.50), Magic Aces ($7,773), Gholp ($28,301), Glazed ($8,913.50) and Qrippoli ($3,092). They were playing at the poker table “Mescal” a 6 max table at Full Tilt Poker.

I haven’t seen Mike Matusow for a little bit so it was nice to see him at the tables. After watching 17 hands, Mike Matusow played in nearly half of them and did not end up winning any of them. Mike Matusow started to sit out with $594.50, maybe he realized at this point he is just giving money away…

Well after sitting for awhile Mike Matusow left the table….Mid-way through the game Stuart Peterson sat down and played for a bit. When I left the chip totals were:

• Stuart Paterson ($8,000)
• Magic Aces ($3,713)
• Gholp ($34,074)
• Glazed ($10,792.50)
• Qrippoli ($3,380)

Phil Ivey ($68,498.50) played heads up against durrrr ($31,499.50) in the $500/$1000 Ivey Deathmatch. I assume both durrrr and Ivey bought in for $50k because earlier in the day durrr was sitting at the table waiting for Ivey with $50k.

Phil Ivey and Durrr were going back and forth with Durrrr winning a large pot worth $69,997.50 with 2 pair. Then a couple hands later Ivey on a $50k pot with his own two pair. 3 hands later Durrrr won a hand with trip 4’s against Ivey’s KQ and won $95,593.50.

Phil Ivey then bought in for another $50k. The game went back and forth for about 30 hands with no significant hands until Ivey Suffered a huge suckout to durrrr. Durrr had Q5 and Phil Ivey had 310 and the flop was [353]… After the flop there was a raise then re-raise and finally Durrr went all-in. Phil Ivey quickly called and was well ahead at this point until the next card flipped over was a 5! This gave Durrr the full house and the river was no help to either giving the pot worth $72,996 to Durrr.

Phil Ivey bought in for another $50k and then finally won a large pot worth  $105,999.50. In the hand, they both had two pair’s but Ivey’s was the bigger of the two. Phil Ivey then won a $50k pot after re-raising durrr.

When I left the heads up game the chip totals were:

Phil Ivey ($133,794.75)
durrrr ($66,182.75)

Phil Ivey ($84,498.50) played heads up $500/$1000 No Limit Hold-em against seda1 ($113,981) in the Ivey Deathmatch table at Full Tilt Poker.com.

I sat down to watch the heads up poker match and 14 hands into it Phil Ivey goes all-in after the turn with the community cards showing: [8h 4d Jh Ts] …. The river was a [2c] and Phil Ivey showed [Qd As] against seda1’s [Ah Td] which gave seda1 the pot worth $150,993.50!

At this point Phil Ivey sat out while seda1 stayed at the table with $198,475.50! This didn’t last long as Ivey bought in for another $25k and resumed the poker match. The $25k didn’t last long (4 hands to be exact) when Phil Ivey lost to pocket jacks in a pot worth $53,644.50.

Phil Ivey is not one to give up and about a minute later bought in again with $100,000. The first hand back Ivey raises $6k pre-flop and then after the flop another $14k which is then re-raised by seda1 to $60k and Ivey promptly folds. Phil Ivey then lasted awhile longer until about 60 hands later he lost two $50k hands in the matter of a couple hands and went broke again… Didn’t take Phil Ivey long to get back on the horse and buy-in again for another $100k!

At this point in the match Phil Ivey has at least lost $200k and has $100k more at the table against seda1’s $300k. Well after watching the match for another 100 hands Phil Ivey had $155k while seda1 had $268k. So Ivey was then down only $150k…

Well looks like seeing Gus Hansen at the tables last night was not a fluke as tonight he was back the tables. Looks like he is getting back on the horse and is once again a familiar face at the $200/$400 Pot Limit Omaha.
