Ivey Earns $200,000 Online

After playing about 200 hands of $2,000/$4,000 LHE with ’IHateJuice’ the last weekend and losing $31,000, Ivey moved to the $500/$1,000 Cap NLHE games and faced the player known as ’riyyc225’, who was a surprise winner of $404,000 at the Full Tilt tables in July. After 227 hands, however, Ivey gathered a $190,000 profit.

Later on, the Full Tilt pro won an additional $68,000 in 40 hands of 10-handed $500/$1,000 Cap NLHE and a further $47,770 in 106 hands of heads-up $500/$1,000 Cap NLHE versus ’ginette22’. Then came Jungleman12 and the $500/$1,000 NLHE, in which Ivey lost $100,000 in merely 27 hands. This was enough for him not to push it further and added a handsome profit of $200,000 to his bankroll, which raised his total online winnings to $2,6 million this year. Now it is only Tom ’durrrr’ Dwan still ahead of him, who, despite his latest downturn period, is still leading the board with $3,9 million.

Thus climbing to the 2nd place in earnings not long after winning his 8th WSOP bracelet, Ivey is now competing with Michael Mizrachi for the fictional title of the Most Successful Player of the Year.
