Since martonas showed his face again earlier this week, Full Tilt has played host to some of the most impressive high-stakes action ever seen and Wednesday night was no exception.
The list of players trading pots last night reads like a railbirds dream with Phil Ivey, Tom “durrrr” Dwan, Patrik Antonius, David Benyamine, Gus Hansen, Tom “kingsofcards” Marchese, Phil “OMGClayAiken” Galfond, Ilari “Ziigmund” Sahamies, martonas and POKERBLUFFS all punching in for a session.
Ivey sat for most of the day yesterday playing a mix of six-max $500/$1,000 No-Limit Hold’em and Fixed-Limit HORSE, crushing all opposition for over $950,000.
Surprisingly, Ivey’s largest No-Limit pot came in at just over $200k, only the sixth largest pot of the day.
The largest pot, worth $448k, belonged to Antonius with kingsofcards, the most recent addition to the regular high-stakes degenerates, on the losing end.
Mostly thanks to Antonius, Marchese’s session could not have gone much worse, booking a loss worth well over half a million dollars.
Despite the beating he gave Marchese, Antonius’s losses to Dwan and Ivey still resulted in the Finnish pro losing nearly $50k, including $270 dropped in a 400 hand session of the durrrr Challenge.

Gus Hansen stayed away from all No-Limit Hold’em and Pot-Limit Omaha tables, choosing instead to play Limit HORSE. But thanks to Benyamine, Ivey, Richard Ashby and Sahamies, Hansen still booked a whopping loss of over $840k.
Finally, action instigator martonas had another losing session, this time minimizing his losses to just over $100k.
With this recent donation bringing his results to a new career low of over $2.5 million in losses, one has to wonder where the unknown Swede finds the funds to refill his roll.
With multiple players taking swings over $500k over the last few days, all signs point to this weekend being absolutely filled with high-stakes action.
