THENUTHUNTER takes on Ivey and Antonius

The man, the myth, the Mantonius.

A regular at games as high as $300/$600, THENUTHUNTER stepped it up last night sitting at $500/$1,000 No-Limit Hold'em with Full Tilt's Patrik Antonius and Phil Ivey.

His night started playing Antonius heads-up on the well-used Full Tilt six-max table "RailHeaven" and it only took a few hands for THENUTHUNTER to get it all in pre-flop with Pocket Jacks against Antonius' sixes.

Nothing helps a player stay confident while playing against one of the world's most intimidating players than taking an early lead and it's doubtful THENUTHUNTER would have remained on the table once Ivey joined the game wiothout it.

For a player taking a shot at the biggest games online, it would be hard to a more difficult table than three-handed with Ivey and Antonius.

Despite the bright red names of his opponents, THENUTHUNTER remained on the table for another hundred hands, ending his session up over $130,000.

Having taken over $230k from Antonius, it was the Ivey factor that put the dent in THENUTHUNTER's profits.

The $300/$600 PLO tables were also full of action as another $300/$600 regular, 458854, made over $270k from Phil "OMGCLayAIken" Galfond, howisitfeellike, and Brian Townsend.

458854's profit came mostly from both the largest pots of the night worth $322k and $237k respectively.

Perhaps inspired by players like Tom "kingsofcards" Marchese, who has taken the high-stakes games by storm since becoming a regular this past September, these two realtively unknown grinders took their shots, and both came away victors.
