Ziigmund wins $399k against Ivey in PLO Heads-up Match

Bluff Magazine has a great story about online player Ziigmund taking almost $400K off of Ivey. 

If that pot was a sickener, it was nothing compared to the last hand of the session. Posting out of the small blind with 8h-5c-7d-3h, Ivey raised to $3k preflop, with Ilari calling with 2d-4h-4c-5d. The flop came Js-6c-3s, giving Ivey nothing more than a gutshot, while Saharies’ pocket fours and up and down straight draw still the best hand. The Finn check-called Ivey’s $5k bet, before the action card came on the turn. The 4d made Ivey his improbable gutshot nut straight, while Saharies had hit a set and a smaller straight. All of the money went in after Ziigmund’s check-raise to $55k was met by an all in for $134k.

Now, a quick look at the percentages here show Ivey to be just a 78% favourite for a $257,995 pot. When the board paired with a Js showing up on the river, the chips went over to Ilari, who promptly called the session to an end, banking a $400k profit for the session.
