According to HighStakesDB, “His first win of the day came from an hour-long heads-up match played late in the afternoon server time at the $1.5K/$3K Mixed Game tables with PostflopAction. Polarizing lead from the start, ending the session up $74.8K.”

After that, it was on to $2K/$4K 2-7 Triple Draw, where Ivey scooped another $44,300, according to the same tracking site. Then, Kostritrsyn and Ivey squared off at a $1K/$2K Mixed Game table, where HighStakesDB detailed that everything was coming up Ivey: “In a little under an hour, the 10-time WSOP bracelet winner had added another $188.4K to his bankroll.

The match lasted just under an hour-and-a-half and, for the first hour, the match was even. However, the last 20 minutes saw Ivey rush to a $156.9K win.”
