Doyle Brunson is generally considered either one of the best poker players of all time or THE best poker player of all time. Phil Ivey is generally considered to be one of the best players right now or THE best player right now. A match up between these two would have to be pretty intriguing to any with even the slightest interest in poker.

Phil Ivey, ever the gambler, was willing to play a game of Doyle Sez where Doyle gets to pick the games. They played six-card Razz with the best low of 75432. "I played that a lot 30-40 years ago and it’s a tricky game," Doyle wrote. He says that Phil caught on the game pretty fast, but Doyle held all the cards and beat his opponent. "I’ve got some more games for him if he wants to continue," Doyle continued.

When it was all said and done Doyle won $2 million dollars. Somehow I don't think Phil Ivey is quite done with him though.
