Team FullTilt Pro Phil Ivey Wins FTP Million Dollar Cash Game

Poker pro and winner of 5 World Series of Poker bracelets, Phil Ivey walked away with a clean half-a-mil ($536,000 to be exact) in the Full Tilt Poker Million Dollar Cash Game, beating out fellow Team Full Tilt members to get there:
•    Patrik Antonius
•    David Benyamine
•    Andy Bloch
•    Eli Elezra
•    Gus Hansen
•    Chris Ferguson
•    John Juanda
•    Howard Lederer
•    Mike Matusow

Ivey also had to oust fellow professional poker players like Phil Hellmuth and Tom Dwan as well, to win the big prize.

This marks his second win of this fledgling event, which has only been running for 3 years now. After winning the inaugural Full Tilt Poker Million Dollar Cash Game in 2006, Phil Ivey came in second place last year, winning $101,100 to that year’s champ (and the only other person, obviously, to ever win this event) Tony G’s $223,000 first prize.

Record $600,000+ Pots All the Rage at Full Tilt Poker

Saturday, September 13, 2008, Full Tilt Poker saw two records broken in a single day at its tables: awarding the biggest online poker pot ever, followed up by awarding a second pot of over $600,000 in the same day.

At Full Tilt Poker’s “RailHeaven” table – a regular 6-player $500/$1000 No Limit Texas Holdem game – player “patatino” raked in $609,730, the largest pot awarded in an online poker game ever. Even more incredible, he accomplished this feat in a hand with three players pre-flop and a meager pair of deuces, his two opponents failing to make their respective flush and straight draws.

Just a few hours later, Team Full Tilt poker celeb, David Benyamine, nearly beat that newly set record, claiming a $604,247 pot for himself. This with pocket Aces and an Ace on the turn, giving him a set to his opponent, Antonius’s three sixes.

Full Tilt Heads-Up PLO Championship

Taking place this past Saturday, September 6, the Full Tilt Poker Heads-Up Pot Limit Omaha Championship delivered a host of suspense and excitement, as a field of just 64 players paid $25,000 for a chance at their share of $1.6 million.

Predictably, almost all the major pro-players on Team FullTilt were among those names to beat, including:
•    Phil Ivey
•    Ben Grundy
•    Andy Bloch
•    Erich Kollmann
•    David Benefield
•    Gus Hansen
•    Chris Ferguson

So was it a poker stars or an unknown home player that takes the top prize of $560,000 and the title of “FullTilt Poker $25,000 Heads Up PLO Champion? Score one for the little guy, as “slaktam” tooks down Patrik Antonius in a nail-biting final all-in hand, pulling a straight on the River. This brings the onine player’s total winnings this year to over $2 million, surely setting him up as a bright new PokerStar in the sky.
