Phil Ivey skipped appearing at the World Series of Poker to play online from Macau at the PokerStars nosebleed tables but he has suffered a massive loss.
According to the High Stakes Data Base, Ivey's bankroll was hit hard with a loss of $968,000 after 3,500 hands. In 2015, Ivey is down over $2 million.
This week Ivey will make his way to Las Vegas to hopefully win his 11th winner's bracelet and a juicy prize.
HSDB reports that Cort Kibler-Melby has had a great week finishing $733,000 on profit.
Ivey and Kibler-Melby are at opposite ends of the spectrum but no other player can touch them in the losing and winning stakes.
