Phil Ivey Loses $1.1 Million Online In February 14th - Mar 1st, 2013

89 sessions in 1 month? he plays 3 sessions a day?? seems bit off to me?

I don't think they reported how long the sessions were, if he is playing 3 six hour sessions a day, that is 18 out of 24 hours of that day. Even if he was playing 3 four hour sessions a day, that is 12 hours of his day, so seems on point to me.

well a gambling loss in usa is tax deductible against winnings so no big deal

Correct, your win/loss statement is your best friend during tax season if your winnings were as high as your losses because you can claim as much loss as you were taxed on winnings, so if they win more than they lose, they are definitely winning at tax time, especially at those levels. I could only imagine what my win/loss statement compared to Phil's, I am sure he didn't need to pawn anything after the game.

even if I had 100 million I couldn't play those stakes comfortably...I would fold to every raise and just give my money away playing scared

Totally agree here, even if I was at an estimated worth of 100 million, the biggest games I would play would be the WSOP main event every year.

Phil Ivey can take a big hit like that no problem. He'll end up winning it all back pretty soon anyway.
