Phil Ivey was playing in quite a few hands tonight, and playing them well. After building his stack up to nearly $70,000, he was snapped off and drained over the course of just a few hands. Only several hands later he made a nice comeback. However, Phil couldn’t seem to keep up the pace, and lost it all over again.

The first hand caused Phil to lose a pretty large stack, about $20,000, after calling an all-in bet by Muzza09.
