Nice one! And yes, it is a bit crazy that it is possible to win and lose that kind of money in a single pot online. Some of the top players a few years ago are broke today, because of new and better players. The game is changing all the time.
After that, I'm sure Ivey is no longer in top of the all time money list! I can't understand Tom Dwan call in flop but he was very very lucky because 4 in turn gave a str8 to both of them. What a hand!

Phil Ivey has been doing pretty bad a of late, Cant believe he went all in when 345 was on board, He shoulda checked to see what Dwan was going to bet, ivey might have saved a little but all in with bottom straight in not the way to go

Yea it's easy to say... u can check that , u can fold that etc.... But think if u would be at that pot.... u already put nice cash into it... u can get the all cash in one (that's how he was thinking) and it's low possiblity someone would do so weird moves like Dwan to check big raise for gutshot so Ivey could think he was on FD or something else. Dwan was just lucky... but pot was nice ^^.

Such a big pot and patrik still looks like hes falling asleep lol. Now imagine if Phil Helmuth was in Ivey's position, against Durrrr no less. It would have been one of the most entertaining moments in poker lol
