Phil Ivey Back in Macau for High-Stakes Poker Action
Phil Ivey has returned to Macau and is ready to play heads-up matches from HKD $500/1,000 and above. This news comes as high-stakes poker games continue to draw top players to the region.
Tom Dwan, another prominent poker player, has reportedly faced significant losses in Macau. According to a chat on PokerStars, Dwan lost approximately HK$20 million the previous week. This information was shared by Canadian professional Peter "GARFIELD25" Chen, who is currently in Macau.
Tom Hall, a key figure in reporting poker news from Macau, mentioned that a big game is happening with high stakes and many side bets. Hall also noted that several local regulars have organized a closed game with no blinds, but with an ante of HK$20k per hand. The game is expected to attract more high-profile players in the coming days.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
