Galfond drops 200K to Phil Ivey

Phil Ivey and Phil “OMGclayaiken” Galfond find themselves in yet another heads up battle on FTP, at Halbert 300/600 NL Hold em. From the very beginning, Ivey’s stack took an uphill swing and never looked back down. Galfond, seeming unable to read a majority of Ivey’s plays, lost a big majority of the pots played to showdown, around 80%. After eating away at his opponent’s stack with many successful, value-bets and bluff-calls, Ivey manages to profit $200,000 by the time Phil Galfond calls it quits and gets away.

Having suffered a few losses to Ivey earlier in the night, Seda1 returned to battle heads up with Ivey once again at Ivey Deathmatch super high stakes poker table. After dropping 150k to Durrr just minutes earlier, Ivey was soon ready to mingle, hoping to recoup his losses. However, Ivey was soon disappointed when he received a lot of heat, having to concede many pots to Seda’s post-flop raises. Phil Ivey struggled to snag one 37k pot while Seda1 took down numerous 17K+ pots , and Seda1 would eventually end the poker match up about $100,000 by the time Ivey called it quits.
