Ziig has taken Ivey for over $400k the past few days
Temperamental Finn Ilari ‘Ziigmund’ Sahamies and November Nine finalist Phil Ivey were at loggerheads last night on the high stakes PLO tables at Full Tilt.
Ziigmund snaffled $200k off Ivey in very fortunate circumstances, prompting him to quit the 'Ivey Thunderdome' after just 97 hands.
Ivey lost a $165k pot when his aces were cracked by Sahamies. After a $9k 3-bet pre-flop by Ivey (A
A
J 5), Ziigmund (7 8
Q 10
) flat called. The 10 2 9 flop gifted Ziigmund top pair, an open ended straight draw and back door flush draw. Ivey led out for $14k, drawing a quick call.
The 10 spiked on the turn, giving Ziigmund a set. Presumably putting the Finn on a draw, Ivey fired a $37k bullet, only to be re-popped all in. Pot committed, Ivey made a belated call, and the 9 on the river was no help.
The next hand was the last straw for Ivey, as he left shortly after. With $19k in the pot on a 5 2 5 flop, Ivey (9 4 5 6) held trips. Ziigmund (K 10 J 10) led out for $18k, drawing an all in raise from Ivey. Ziigmund made a questionable call with his over pair, but was rewarded when the 3, A spiked to give him a flush draw and the $110k pot.
