In this nosebleed heads-up battle, the largest pot comes a only slightly shy of $100k with Lars taking home the chips. At the offset of this hand, Lars is sitting considerably short with a stack of just under 41bb; Ivey is sitting with his regular deep stack of over 400bb.
Lars is a well known online player, known for his aggression and overall loose play, combine that with heads up play and you have a recipe for large pots with weak hands. Ivey, being no stranger to heavy online action is willing to step up and play ball.
Here are details of the largest pot - you can watch it in our hand replayer here.

LarsLuzak Shows The Best Hand Three of a Kind Tens
Phil Ivey Shows Two Pair Aces and Tens
LarsLuzak Wins $81,528.
The hand plays out in a mostly standard heads-up fashion: After the flop coming dry, Ivey feels that his Ace high is likely the best hand. He check raises the flop and gets called. At this point he can only put Lars on one of two hands: ten or a pair.
When the ace falls on the turn, Ivey now beats any pair, only losing to the unlikely possibility that his opponent has a ten. Because his opponent's stack is less than the pot, the only bet Ivey can make here is an all in. Unfortunately for Phil, Lars had the 10 earning him a double up.
Since Phil's stack is still more than quadruple the size of Lars's, there should still be plenty of action remaining.
