Hundreds of Thousands Exchange Hands at Online Table

By launchpoker, Feb 25, 2008

Online poker rooms are sometimes where pro players and amateur high rollers log on to toss money around in very large amounts, as witnesses to one match at Full Tilt Poker can attest to. Phil Ivey, known as the "Tiger Woods of poker", was the pro while another player, a mystery man known as seda1, took on the role of high stakes amateur. Seda1 lost $600k to Ivey in one match, but according to reports made up some ground in a follow up session at a "Deathmatch" table. Poker blogs are abuzz with attempts to identify seda1.
