$400.000 Flip at Full Tilt Poker
When you see players like Phil Ivey and “Ziigmund” at the tables at FullTilt Poker you know you are in for a real treat.
Last weekend they really did not let down the hundreds of railbirds watching the table where they were playing.
After playing for a couple of hours Ziigmund asked Phil Ivey if he wanted to make one flip. They decided to flip for what they had in front of them and since Ziigmund had $200.000 at the table and Phil Ivey had him cover they decided to flip for $200.000 each. This means that there was $400.000 to be won in that pot.
Here is the chat where the decided to make the flip:
Ziigmund: lets take 1 flip
Phil Ivey: how much?
Ziigmund: what do u think
Ziigmund: ????
Phil Ivey: what u have in front of u?
Ziigmund: when i flip i really flip
Phil Ivey: hahaha
Ziigmund: ok all in
Phil Ivey: k this hand for what u have in front of u
Ziigmund: ok gl m8
Phil Ivey: thx u2
Ziigmund: 247Q
Phil Ivey: j10 6 4
With the cards they had on hand Phil Ivey was a slight favourite to win the pot but only be a very small margin.
The flop gave Ziigmund 2 pair and on the river he completed a full house and took down the $400K pot.
After the hand was over Ivey told him that drinks would be on Ziigmund next time they meet but something tells me that this does not really hurt the pocketbook of a man like Phil Ivey.
