It seemed as though everyone wanted a piece of Phil Ivey in his own home court. After taking a combined $558K from his previous two opponents just three hours earlier, Ivey now faced the formidable Ilari “Ziigmund” Sahamies in a heads-up $500/$1000 PL Omaha battle on Full Tilt Poker table Ivey Thunderdome. It seemed as though it would be a hard-fought battle with the lead trading back and forth. But after being up as much as $33K+, a $160K final hand saw Ivey predictably quit the match after his usual $100K loss.
