During the evening hours on Full Tilt Poker, high stakes gamblers Ilari “Ziigmund” Sahamies and Phil Ivey got involved in a $500/$1000 Pot-Limit Omaha battle over on table Ivey Thunderdome. It was a thrilling matchup that saw Ivey surge to a $300K+ lead after winning three six-figure pots within the first 15 minutes of play. The first all-in hand of the match was easily one of the sickest six-figure donations ever witnessed as Sahamies got in almost $100K with Eight high against Ivey’s trip Aces. But then Sahamies came back strong as he pulled in three six-figure pots of his own within an eight-hand stretch that included back-to-back $300K+ pots. The quick $400K+ swing proved to be too much for Ivey who would leave the table minutes later with an even $120K loss to Sahamies after just 71 total hands played.
