Phil Ivey Wins Over $500k in Two Days: Blom Drops $380,000

Poker icon Phil Ivey won $441,380 over a two day period after 835 hands were played in six different sessions concluding on Tuesday.

Most of his winnings on Tuesday came during a session played in the late morning at the $1,500/$3,000 8-game tables, according to PokerNews.

Ivey has had a bit of a rocky start to the year, which was recently made worse by a lawsuit filed on behalf of the Borgata Casino seeking the return of $9.6 million.  The Atlantic City casino accuses Ivey of cheating during sessions of baccarat.

Fellow poker pro Viktor Blom was not so lucky this week, going down $380,000 during nearly that same time period.
