When two of the most aggressive players in the world collide with strong hands, there are bound to be fireworks and fireworks there were when Patrik Antonius locked horns with Phil Ivey in the 'Million Dollar Cash Game.'
Ivey raises the action to $2,000 with a pair of Jacks, Antonius makes the call with Ah Tc and Brian Townsend came along for the ride with a pair of eights.
A flop of Ac As Jc gifts Ivey a full house and Antonius trip Aces. After seeing a bet of $5,000 from Ivey raised to $15,000, Townsend intelligently gets out of the pot. After the raise to $15,000 from Antonius, Ivey makes it $50,000 in cash to go, eventually, the Finn calls. Ivey then bet $100,000 on the turn of the five of diamonds and again, Antonius calls.
The Queen of hearts on the river meant Ivey could only lose if he folded his hand, and sensing this he bet a quarter of a million dollars! Antonius went into the tank for a few minutes before calling and losing one of the biggest pots of all time, $807,000!
