In this paper, we study the two phase flow problem in the ideal incompressible magnetohydrodynamics. We propose a Syrovatskij type stability condition, and prove the local well-posedness of the two phase flow problem with initial data satisfies such condition. This result shows that the magnetic field has a stabilizing effect on Kelvin-Helmholtz instability even the fluids on each side of the free interface have different densities.
