Phil Vs. Phil
High Stakes Poker, poker blog January 31st, 2008Galfond 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.

WOW! Phil Ivey owned him in these hands, although that last one was just trowing it in and getting lucky on the flop.
Phil was dominated but got what he needed on the flop.
Phil Ivey is one of the greatest poker players and will continue to rise in ability (if that’s even possible)
High Stakes Poker is paying Phil Ivey pretty good. I wonder how much he has profited from playing poker online? Too bad there wasn’t a way to keep track of the online stats of the poker pros.
