Once again the always insane poker pros jumped into the $300-$600 Heads-Up No-Limit game on Full Tilt last night. This time, the rival featured poker sensation Phil Ivey and know and respected online pro, Sbrugby a.k.a Brian Townsend. As always the match was filled with lots of crazy plays and coin flips for thousands, but one hand in particular really stood out as the pot reached the $250,000 area on a turn all-in call by Ivey, here is what went down:
Hole Cards:
Phil Ivey:

Sbrugby:

Pre-Flop Action:
Blinds, $300-$600
Ivey Raises To $1,800
Sbrugby Raises To $6,400
Ivey Calls $4,600
The Flop:

Sbrugby Bets $9,200
Phil Ivey Raises To $31,200
Sbrugby Calls $22,000
The Turn:

Sbrugby Checks
Phil Ivey Bets $60,600
Sbrugby Is All-In For $94, 686
Phil Ivey Calls
The River:

Phil Ivey Wins With Higher Two Pair, Jacks & Tens
This hand was really crazy and I am sure that Sbrugby probably was cursing and going crazy after the hand. Although this was a bad beat one has to wonder what Townsend was doing in the hand in the first place with such a horrible hand, maybe he thought Ivey was bluffing.
The match between these two last for a few hours ending with Phil Ivey up around $486,000, not bad for a few hours work. Here is a screenshot of the stack from the table:
