Ivey Picks Up $100K In $500/$1000 No-Limit Hold’em Against Kelopuro

Over on Full Tilt Poker table GusHeaven, high stakes players Phil Ivey and Sami “LarsLuzak” Kelopuro played a heads-up game of $500/$1000 No-Limit Hold’em. It looked as if Kelopuro was going to get the best of Ivey as he was up over $300K after half-an-hour of play. But sure enough, Ivey came roaring back. Winning two monster pots during a $355K+ swing in the final four hands of play, Ivey was able to book a $100K win as Kelopuro immediately left the table.
