Yesterday I was railing the NL $500/$1000 CAP table at Full Tilt Poker. I like to watch this table since there is usually a lot of action going on.

One hand that cought my attention was the one between Phil Ivey and John Juanda. Juanda had been playing really tight for the last hours, come to think of it this is probably the first hand I saw him play.

It played out something like this….

John Juanda has the big blind and picks up 5-6 off suit. Phil ivey raises it up to $3000 under the gun and it is folded to Juanda who calls.

The flop comes 5-8-6 rainbow and Juanda raises with around $5K and Phil Ivey makes the re raise. Juanda then moves all in with the maximum of $30K and Phil Ivey calls showing 9-9 for an overpair.

The turn comes another 8 giving Phil Ivey two pair with nines and eights and is now ahead in the hand.

The river comes another eight giving Ivey the full house with eights over nines while Juanda holds eights over sixes.

This meant that Ivey could take down a nice $60K pot and Juanda lost even though he had Ivey dominated after the flop.

The Full Tilt Poker Pro Phil Ivey can look back the great run he had at the poker tables during the month of September. During the 30th of September alone he managed to take down over $1 Million in winnings at the Full Tilt Poker tables. So for the whole month of September Phil Ivey has won over $2 Million from the other high stakes players on this poker room. Phil Ivey is really an amazing player as he is crushing his competitors on in all games and on all levels.

On a side note we can report that the Swedish player “Slaktarn” who has been winning a lot of money on Full Tilt lately had a really bad month in September as he lost over $1 Million during the month. Maybe the fairy tale of this players is about to come to and end. It has been reported that this player borrowed $10 000 to sit down at a $200-400 Heads Up game and thats how he started winning all his cash. But if he continues to play like last month he will soon need to borrow money again.
