phil-ivey-tablePhil Ivey came into the World Series of Poker tournament seeking his 6th bracelet.  Being one of the top online and live pros, he is obviously a favorite in all games he plays.  Playing in the 8th event, which is the 2-7 lowball no-limit event $2,500 buyin, Phil Ivey quickly found himself at the WSOP Main Event final table.  After having being a short stack for most of the time, he stormed back against John Monnette to take a huge chip lead.  Monnette fought back and got to with a 3:2 chip disadvantage.  Yet, that was as close as he would get.  Phil would out play Monnette to capture his 6th bracelet.  Ivey had to best 147 players to win a nice little $91k payday.  Although, everyone knows Phil Ivey loves betting action, so he probably made a bit more on side bets, particularly with Barry Greenstein.  Ivey is playing in the $10k buyin mixed Texas Hold’em event currently.

You can play with Phil Ivey online after the WSOP ends at Full Tilt Poker.  Currently, Full Tilt is holding their Mini WSOP on their site, which is running the same events as the WSOP right now!  Sign up with Full Tilt Poker and don’t miss the action.
