Ivey Deathmath - Ivey Vs. LarsLuzak
The Ivey Deathmatch is a new high stakes poker game at full tilt poker where a player is able to sit down and play heads up against Phil Ivey. I have been waiting for a player to sit down and play against Phil Ivey and until today I hadn’t witnessed a match. This changed when Lars Luzak joined the table and sat down with $100k and joined Phil Ivey who was also sitting at the table with $100k. The limits for the table were $500/$1000 and the game was No Limit Hold-em.
The game started with some small pots and mostly pre-flop raises and folds until hand #15. This hand turned out to be huge and worth $118,999.50 dollars. Phil Ivey had [Th 2h] and lost with two pair, Kings and Twos against LarsLuzak who held [5h Ac] and won with two pair, Kings and Five. The board showed [Kd 2c 3d 5c] [Ks].
Ivey still had a bit of money left after the #15 monster hand but then lost an all-in a few hands later to Lars Luzak and quickily bought in for another 100k.
After another 30 hands Lars Luzak won a hand worth $53k and right after the hand Phil Ivey sat out and at this point I stopped watching. So I don’t know if the action started back up again a little while later.
