As expected, Phil Ivey has been one of the most active players this Series, and entering Event 50, all he had to show for his tremendous amount of buy-ins were a few small cashes. Then, also as expected, the world’s best came through in one of the most challenging events on the schedule. Ivey won the $1,500 eight-game mixed event to earn $167,332 and move into a tie with Doyle Brunson and Johnny Chan for second-place on the all-time bracelet list.

“It’s number 10. That’s a good number,” said Ivey to the WSOP. “It’s the World Series of Poker and I always like to come out and support this. The World Series is the only tournament that has all the group of games. It’s really important to have stud and pot-limit Omaha and eight-or-better. Because they have it, that’s one of the reasons I come out and support it. It’s true to poker.”
