Phil Ivey Played two tables of $200/$400 Pot Limit Omaha Hi… He was also playing at a $500/$1000 Limit HORSE game.

At the Panthoen table the chips looked like:  digididopp ($23,064.50), Phil Ivey ($60,652),  sexyolivia ($49,427),  heirogliphic ($47,541.50) ,  Dustin Dirksen ($19,598) and tsarrast ($10,000).

At the Eginton table the chips were: Dustin Dirksen ($10,397), MrSmokey1 ($13,597), Phil Ivey ($75,864.50), digididopp ($0), is sitting out, Mark Vos ($8,997) and Kimbo320 ($16,795)

It was hard not to post a hand at either table with hands over $10k each. Phil Ivey folded a big hand against heirogliphic after already calling $14k but folding after a raise of $23,200. Phil Ivey then won a hand worth $38,593 against Dustin Dirksen with a king high flush against Dirksen’s two pair.

John DAgostino ($36,476) played $500/$1000 Limit Omaha Hi/Lo against Moish5 ($27,674.50) at the table Comet (6 max) at Full Tilt Poker.net.

The table had an average pot size of $4671 with over 200 hands per hour. They weren’t afraid to raise and re-raise the hands and it made for an interesting heads up poker game. You wouldn’t know it since their was no observer chat which is usually prevalent in a high stakes game.

After more then 50 hands:

Moish5 ($33,164.50)
John DAgostino ($30,967.50)

Steve Zolotow ($2,463) played $200/$400 Pot Limit Omaha Hi against heirogliphic ($76,577),  hcdnttb ($55,229), seda1 ($33,169), Dustin Dirksen ($10,198) and regista8 ($8,347).

The game had some pretty high stakes hands right off the bat after I started watching. The average poker hand at the time I was watching was $3,437 with 176 H/hr. Heirogliphic won a pot worth $20,997 with a three of a kind 6’s against hcdnttb. Seda1 won $23,784 against Dustin Dirksen when on the river he got a 10 beating Dirksen’s pocket aces.

After watching for awhile the chip counts were:

• heirogliphic ($106,283.50)
• hcdnttb ($53,654)
• seda1 ($42,356.50)
• Steve Zolotow ($8,000)
• Dustin Dirksen ($18,373)
• regista8 ($4,747)

traheho ($44,139) and Bawankawonk ($83,032.50) played heads up No Limit Hold-em at the $200/$400 “Vasari” table at Full Tilt Poker.  I haven’t seen either one of these players before so I don’t know what to expect in terms of high stakes hands. But on a Friday night at 11pm (PST) there weren’t any other high stakes tables and I always like watching No Limit tables.

I have watched some heads up matches where its a fold fest to the big blind. Luckily this game wasn’t like that. Every couple hands there was at least a $2k hand and Bawankawonk (long name…probably spelled it wrong but I am too lazy to check…or for that matter change it) won a $18,199.50.

There were a couple $200/$400 Pot Limit Omaha Hi games at FullTilt but I picked the game with a couple of familiar high stakes players with the largest average pots.

The first hand I watched is a partial hand but was worth $38,286 so I figured it deserved to be in the top hands. Players that were sitting at the table were:  durrrr ($14,492), Steel Bunny ($4,990),  seda1 ($38,286),  hcdnttb ($25,795) and OMGClayAiken ($8,000).

Later in the game Gus Hansen sat down at the table with  16,000 as OMGClayAiken left the table with $17,042.
