Phil Ivey Makes $2.2 Million in September

The action at Full Tilt Poker was fierce all of September and many players have reported having record months. Phil Ivey who I’m sure all of you already know as one of the best poker players in the world has just reported that he made a whooping 2.2 million in September. Phil played a total of 29,756 hands which means that he averaged a profit of $73.93 per hand. If I could make that a day I’d be doing awesome, but for someone to average that per hand is incredible.

A lot of Phil’s success came early and late in the month with not much happening in between the month. He posted a quick million in the first couple days of the month and another million at the end of the month.

Ivey’s largest pot of the month was for 440K against user “Lady Marmelade” on the NLHE tables. Ivey has had an amazing 2008 and has posted a total profit of 4.4 million this year which is ranked second on the cash leaderboard only trailing the famous cash game player David Benyamine. If you go back and count the stats from 2007 and this year though Ivey would be in the lead with 6.4 million with Benyamine at 5.9 million.

As you can see Ivey had one of his best months ever I’m sure in September and I hope that all of you had some luck this past month as well. There is tons of money being thrown around on online poker so sharpen your skills and grab a piece of the pie.
