Poker Pro Phil Ivey Wins $1.1 Million In Only One Day

Poker stud Phil Ivey bean this year in a major slump, as it was reported that he lost $2 million in the first month and a half of 2009. However, he bounced back recently and won $1.1 million at the Full Tilt poker tables. A majority of the money he won came out the expense of Tom “Durrrr” Dwan.

It was also reported by Poker-King.com that many of Ivey’s losses came when he was playing in heads up matches against poker pro Sami “LarsLuzak” Kelopuro. Ivey recently had his luck change, as it was recently reported by Aintluck.com that he had won some really big pots off LarsLuzak in his big $1 million day. Most of the money that Ivey won came at the expense of Durrrr.

It was reported by HighStakes.com that the big wins from Ivey and the second biggest pot of the night came while playing Pot Limit Omaha heads up against Durrrr. The biggest pot of Ivey’s big night came when Ivey hit on a two-pair having pocket Aces and took home a cool $328,790.
