Ivey Picks Up A Million

Ziigmund and Durrr contribute to poker ace's profits

The independent online poker stats site MarketPulse reports that Phil Ivey enjoyed a profitable session Thursday at the Full Tilt Poker big-action virtual tables, taking over a million from formidable players like Tom 'durrr' Dwan and the ultra-cool Finnish player Ilari 'Ziigmund' Sahamies.

It's been a bad week for Sahamies who lost a similar amount to Dwan, including one pot of $549 000, earlier in the week.

The biggest hand of the session saw Ivey take a $227 958 pot from Sahamies, who also lost more big pots to Dwan, incurring some of the heaviest losses of his online playing career to date.
