Tom Dwan and Phil Ivey played a record-breaking hand in the Full Tilt Poker organized Million Dollar Cash Game. This giant hand came after the 20-hour long session was nearing its end and there were only Dwan, Ivey and Patrik Antonius sitting at the table.

Blinds were $1000/$2000 + $200 ante when Tom Dwan opened from the button. Ivey raised from the small Blind, Antonius folded and Dwan paid. Ivey bet $40.000 to a Qc5c3D flop and Dwan called again. The turn was 4h and Ivey bets and Dwan raises to $240.000. After some consideration from Ivey he goes all-in and Dwan made a insta-call with the nut straight (6h7h) leaving Ivey drawing dead with Ac2h.

It was not the only monster hand for Dwan as a bit earlier the young star lost a $500.000 pot to Antonius when Antonius cracked Dwan’s aces with kings. Biggest loser for the session was Ilari Sahamies (again) who lost 1,3 million dollars to other players.

Tom Dwan has now won two of the biggest televised poker hands in history. Last year Dwan cracked Barry Greenstein’s aces and won $900k in High Stakes Poker.

Million Dollar Cash Game is going to be aired in the British Sky Sports in January.
