Phil Ivey has reached a pinnacle that no other poker player* has reached before, he is going to be on the cover of ESPN the Magazine. The magazine will also feature an in-depth look at the life of Phil Ivey and showing a side of him that many have not seen.

The magazine article will spotlight a side of Ivey that has not been exposed to the public, since he prefers to avoid publicity and concentrate on his poker game rather than being a celebrity and appearing on the headlines of the most important media sources.

Phil was kind enough to let the ESPN writer into his day to day life and experience the treatment that the best poker player in the world received in casinos world wide. They flew in Ivey’s private jet to some exotic locations were Phil did his thing.

But the article delves deeper than the great life that Phil has and into the top notch skills that Phil displays on the poker table. Ivey says that his level of play involves more psychological state of mind than mathematical. He can pick-up on tells that a regular person would not notice.

This should be a great article and I look forward to checking it out when it hits news stands on November 2nd.

The question is: will Phil Ivey being smiling on the cover? Or will he have his trademark poker scowl face?
