Daniel Negreanu revealed on his blog that he was doing a couple of shoots for Full Tilt Poker's Poker After Dark show and it looks like Phil Ivey will be playing as well.

Oct 29th: I'll be playing in the $20k buy in Poker After Dark show against Phil Ivey, Doyle Brunson, Howard Lederer, Chris Ferguson, and Phil Hellmuth.

Oct 30th: Once again I'll be playing on Poker After Dark only this time it will be under the cash game format against the likes of: Phil Ivey, Patrik Antonius, Tom Dwan, Gus Hansen, and Phil Hellmuth.

The one going on today looks like a true game of legends, but I'm looking forward to the game after. It'll be just like Rail Heaven.

It was a crazy weekend for online poker at Full Tilt as the record for biggest online pot was broken THREE TIMES. When it was all said and done Phil Ivey stood above the rest.

Today was a particularly ridiculous day, as the record for the largest ever online poker hand was broken THREE times in just a couple of hours.

First "durrrr" set the record with a $618k pot over "LarsLuzak". "durrrr" held A-9 for two pair and picked off a very large bluff attempt from "LarsLuzak".

Then, just a few hours later, John Juanda won a monster $678k pot off of Tom "durrrr" Dwan. The two players got all of their money into the middle pre-flop, with Juanda holding pocket Kings and Dwan holding pocket Aces. Dwan was looking good until the river brought the King of hearts, and Juanda was shipped the then-record pot.

Just a few moments later, Phil Ivey won a massive $687k pot from Juanda.

Phil Ivey also tacked on a $451k pot for over ONE MILLION dollars in two hands. Wow.

Phil Ivey is out of the WPT Festa Al Lago event, which doesn't come as a big suprise as he was shortstacked yesterday. His buddy Daniel Negreanu is the current chip leader and it doesn't look like Michael Phelps ended up playing.

The World Poker Tour's Festa al Lago got underway at the Bellagio casino yesterday and after Day 1A Phil Ivey is still alive, but Antonio Esfandiari is the current leader. As of right now Phil Ivey sits in 76th place with $34,850 in chips, a long way from Antonio Esfandiari's $313k. Phil Hellmuth brought a friend to the event.

The big news coming out of the Bellagio for today’s Day 1B is the possibility that U.S. Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps may enter the tournament. The winner of eight gold medals during the 2008 Beijing Games was introduced to many members of the field on Day 1A by Hellmuth. WPT officials told Poker News Daily that he stated he would “be back on Tuesday” to play.

Somehow, I don't see that working out well.
