Phil Ivey wins $900K in One Evening

Phil Ivey just keeps proving that he is the best player in poker. The other night on Full Tilt Poker Phil Ivey played against Daniel “jungleman12” Cates and Scott “URnotINdanger2” Palmer and cleaned their clocks. Playing $500/$1,000 CAP PLO he took $340,000 off of Cates and close to $600,000 off of Palmer.

One of the things about Ivey is that he doesn't tend to have huge downswings in terms of his overall winnings. You might have some hot-at-the-moment player winning $1 million and losing $1 million with some frequency but for Phil it seems like win, win, win, win, win, lose. So when he does have a $1 million dollar downswing it's been preceded by $3 or $4 million in winnings.

If you want to catch Phil playing or mix it up yourself (we're assuming at much lower stakes) you can sign up at Full Tilt Poker.
