Phil Ivey wins the 2021 WPT Online $25k Heads-Up Championship
Phil Ivey ran over a 32-player invitational field en route to winning the $400,000 top prize in the July 18-22 $25k WPT Online Heads-Up poker Championship Presented by Poker King.
Ivey only dropped one game during the entire tournament – his first game against Manig Loeser – as he defeated Loeser, GPI No. 12 Anthony Zinno and GPI No. 13 Stephen Chidwick to reach the finals.
His finals matchup was a flashback to 2000’s Poker After Dark television, as Patrik Antonius took to the screen across from Ivey in a suite in Cabo San Lucas where the vast majority of the field came to participate.
Ivey took three straight games from Antonius, winning the best-of-five match and the championship. Antonius earned $200,000 as runner-up.
Here’s a look at our live updates coverage from all five days of the tournament, coverage hosted at Poker King.
