For the second time in the three-year history of the event, Pro’s-pro Phil Ivey has taken down the Full Tilt Poker “Million Dollar Cash Game.” The event is a two-day high-stakes cash game that is filmed in London and pits many of the top poker players in the game against one another. Just a few of the players involved in this year’s event were Ivey, Patrik Antonius, Tom “durrrr” Dwan, Chris “Jesus” Ferguson, Mike Matusow and David Benyamine.

Unlike in a tournament structure where at the end one man holds all the chips, the winner of this event is simply the player who won the most money. By that criteria, Ivey was the winner far and away. Ivey walked away up $536,400, while the next biggest winner, Mike Matusow, won approximately $130,000. John Juanda also walked away a winner, pocketing about $69,000 profit.

The big losers appeared to be Patrik Antonius and Tom “durrrr” Dwan, although the exact amount of their losses is unknown. Phil Hellmuth also competed quite unsuccessfully, as is par for the course in televised cash games he lost a big hand and quickly stormed off of the set.

The hand in question was against Ivey, and Hellmuth held AJ vs. the 88 of Ivey. The flop came J-9-T and after a 7 fell on the turn, the players got their chips in the middle. Ivey’s straight was good and Hellmuth’s head seemed close to popping right off.

The poor play from Hellmuth on the previous hand was likely due to the fact he was steaming from a previous loss to Mike Matusow. Matusow raised with TT and Tom Dwan called with A2 of spades. Hellmuth then went all-in with AQ and was called by Matusow. The pocket pair held up and Hellmuth berated Matusow, calling him an “idiot” for the pre-flop call.

The biggest hand of the night fell in favor of Ivey, who won a $531,000 pot off of Chris “Jesus” Ferguson. Phil Hellmuth raised pre-flop with J4, Ivey called holding 33, before Ferguson re-raised holding AA. Hellmuth folded and Ivey called, hitting a set on the flop. Ferguson bet $40,000, and Ivey raised to $100,000, which Ferguson smooth called. Ivey moved all-in after the turn completed his boat, and Ferguson made what was essentially a no-brainer call. Ivey’s full house held on the river, and he collected the massive pot.

You know what they say, timing is everything in poker, and Ivey’s biggest hands came at a time when his opponents also held big hands. Congratulations to those pros who won, and for those whose wallets took a hit, I still don’t feel a damn bit sorry for ya.
