Nosebleed Cash Action Gone Crazy at APT Macau

Phil Ivey, Tom Dwan and other top pros along with two Chinese businessmen have been playing ~$1,300/$2,600 No Limit Hold'em cash game at APT Macau for the past few days. Both Ivey and Dwan are getting the best of it at the moment and the action seems to be only heating up.

APT Macau Main Event saw many poker pros in the field, but the main story have become the cash games that have been running alongside the tournament.

According to a thread over at 2+2, Tom "durrr" Dwan (pictured right), Phil Ivey and John Juanda have joined the ~$1,300/$2,600 No Limit Hold'em cash game along with two Chinese businessmen eager to play for high stakes.

Ivey and Dwan winning big

Two of the biggest winners seem to be Ivey and Dwan, as Ivey was reported to be up HK $15m (close to USD $2 million) and Dwan up HK $4m (approximately USD $500k). However, with big pots frequently being built up at the table, money is quickly changing hands.

One of the most recent larger pots was for around HK $10m (approx. USD $1.25m) between Ivey and Dwan, in which the money went in on the A-X-X-3 board. Dwan showed A-3, while Ivey turned over A-K and rivered a K to scoop the massive pot.

Players who have lost the most thus far are two Chinese businessmen, both being down close to HK $10m (approx. USD $1.25m). Johnny Chan was last reported to have lost around HK $800k (approx USD $100k). Meanwhile, John Juanda left Macau as a big winner in the cash games, despite dropping over HK $1.5m (approx. USD $200k) in his last session.

Besides the "main" cash game, there is also a second one with blinds at ~$650/$1,300. Some of the players in that game include Jeff Lisandro, Ted Forrest and more. Even though the main cash game has stopped for the moment, we can expect more action from Ivey, Dwan and the others soon.
