Well-known gamblers Ilari “Ziigmund” Sahamies and Phil Ivey got involved in an exiciting ultra high stakes poker battle. They faced off in a $500/$1000 Pot-Limit Omaha match during the evening hours on Full Tilt Poker table Ivey Thunderdome. Sahamies would get off to an early lead as he was up $136K after 20 minutes of play. Ivey came back and sat on a $227K+ lead after another 40 minutes of action. But that’s when Sahamies dropped the hammer down and nailed a
half-million dollar surge over the next 45 minutes of the match. Ivey left the table with an even $300K loss in 163 total hands played against Sahamies.
