After posting about this yesterday I realized that it wouldn't be long until Phil Ivey accepted Tow Dwan's online poker challenge. What I didn't realize is that he would have to wait his turn.

Phil Ivey confirmed today on PokerRoad Radio with Barry Greenstein that he's already told Tom "durrrr" Dwan that he'll take on his million-dollar online poker challenge. He also said Benyamine is up first to try the challenge and Antonius is waiting in the wings for a shot at it.

During the same interview it came out the challenge was open to anyone except Phil Galfond (?) and Greenstein had this to say "I would have expected him to challenge everyone except maybe Phil Ivey, who's looking to me like the best heads-up player." Exactly. You can listen to the entire interview here.

We'll be following this situation closely and will let you know if we can figure out when it's going to go down. This is one thing I'd love to be a railbird for. All you need to watch is a Full Tilt Poker account which you can get by signing up here.

High Stakes Poker has just announced its lineup of stars and professionals for its fifth season, and it’s sure to generate excitement as the list includes some of the most well-known poker players in the world, as well as the top two finishers of the 2008 main event.

Phil Ivey will be joined by such pros as Doyle Brunson, Phil Hellmuth, Daniel Negreanu, Phil Laak, Howard Lederer, Barry Greenstein and 2008 WSOP champion Peter Eastgate. It should be pretty exciting as towards the end of last season players were buying in for as much as $500,000. Sounds right up Phil's alley.
