Phil Ivey’s $476k Weekend

Full Tilt Bonus star Phil Ivey was back to things he does best this weekend, beating all challengers and winning $476k. Ivey’s key opponent was kagome kagome (formerly IHateJuice) who he gutted in $3,000/$6,000 Limit Hold’em.

In 311 hands, Ivey collected $476k from the Limit specialist and finally and successfully made his way into the black this year.
