I already saw it and i think it was posted here few ago. Losing a $1M is the best lesson of poker you can take. However for him losing $1M is like losing $1 for me.

that is a way to keep you paying atenttion ..somehow he deserved it..should have kept the pot small i think cause he didn t even bottered to think he had the lower end of a straight and not the top one...it s not nice to loose 1M ..but if you deserve it ..btw 1 $ from how much cause if you loose a $ from 10 let ss say it s 10 % from what you have:

I like the synchronized "oh my gosh!" Phil Ivey's play was perfect in my opinion, it is the standard play in this type of hand. Also it is almost impossible to guess that Dwan had 76 or 26 given the play preflop and at the flop (you can still think he has it, but I'm sure it's EV+ if you play like Ivey)

First time for me seeing that video. For sure Ivey's expression says it all, but who would seem different after that loss. No matter how much money you have 500k loss in one hand is a big amount.
