March 6, 2009 (InfoPowa News) — The independent online poker stats site MarketPulse reports that Phil Ivey enjoyed a profitable session Thursday at the Full Tilt Poker big-action virtual tables, taking over a million from formidable players like Tom 'durrr' Dwan and the ultra-cool Finnish player Ilari 'Ziigmund' Sahamies.
It's been a bad week for Sahamies, who lost a similar amount to Dwan, including one pot of $549,000, earlier in the week.
The biggest hand of the session saw Ivey take a $227,958 pot from Sahamies, who also lost more big pots to Dwan, incurring some of the heaviest losses of his online playing career to date.
