Phil Ivey Wins 8th Bracelet in HORSE Event at the WSOP

Bruce — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 12:54:21 +0000

Phil Ivey was the winner of the $3,000 buy-in H.O.R.S.E. championship at the 2010 World Series of Poker. The dramatic win marked his eighth career WSOP gold bracelet victory. The personal triumph locks Ivey into a tie with Erik Seidel for fifth place on the all-time WSOP wins list. Ivey becomes the youngest player in history ever to reach such a lofty plateau. Now age 33, Ivey has won more bracelets than all but game masters Phil Hellmuth, Doyle Brunson, Johnny Chan, and the late Johnny Moss. A scarier thought for anyone fading action on Ivey’s success – he shows absolutely no signs of slowing down and remains hungry to win more. “I think I can win 30 gold bracelets,” said Ivey afterward. “I think I can reach that if I keep playing and stay healthy.” (from WSOP.com)

Bad Beats Trigger Weird Final Table at WSOP

Bruce — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 05:20:41 +0000

I won’t go into who won the Main Event but it is obvious the best players don’t always win. Chip leader Darvin Moon made some of the most ridiculous all in bets I have ever seen. It is only with tremendous luck that he survived to the final 3. Joe Cada, bidding to replace Peter Eastgate as the youngest Main Event winner, went all in first with 33 and flopped a 3 aginst 99 (he was short stacked). But then he pushes all in with 22 when he was in decent blind position. He was battling QQ and sure enough a 2 flopped and there he was –still in the hunt for 8.5 million. Stay tuned this final table gets even more bizarre.

I surely don’t want to ruin the final table for anyone. As of my writing of theis blog, the final 2 players–Darvin Moon and the potentially the youngest player ever to win a WSOP Main Event, Joe Cada are preparing to square off. Much to the dismay of most poker fans Phil Ivey was an early exit from the final table.Joe Cada has a huge chip lead and should easily knock out the Western Maryland native. For whatever reason Moon is a Saints fan.
