World Champion of Poker
Phil Ivey, sometimes referred to as the "Tiger Woods of Poker", is known for his aggressive and fearless approach to the game. Ivey is making millions frequenting the highest online tables at Full Tilt Poker, battling the masses at numerous live tournaments, and appearing in a myriad of Poker TV shows like GSN´s hit-show High Stakes Poker.
The Sixth Bracelet
Being a highly active player, Phil already had five WSOP bracelets to his name, with the last victory dating back to 2003. Although having won five bracelets is quite an accomplishment for a only 33-year-old poker player, the sixth bracelet came in just right after a relatively long WSOP silence.
Phil Ivey won the bracelet and $96,361 in cash by outlasting the 146 opponents in the No-Limit 2-7 Draw event. He beat John Monnette to the punch in a heads-up battle and had his opponent drawing dead when the money went to the middle.
