This is kind of a weird story coming out of the WSOPE. Phil Ivey decided to take a break from playing poker to check out a Coldplay concert. That part is no surprise. What's surprising is how he got there. From PokerNews:
In London for the World Series of Poker Europe, Phil Ivey decided the city traffic and the underground tube were just not an option, and music mogul Chris Gotti decided it was well worth it to hire a 16-passenger helicopter to take them to Wembley Stadium for a Coldplay concert.
According to the New York Post, the chopper landed in a nearby park where children were playing. Gotti told the newspaper "The kids went crazy and rushed over. They thought we were Jay-Z."
I've said once and I'll say it again, Phil Ivey rules.
