Ivey in the hunt for 3rd bracelet in 2009

Phil Ivey is among 30 people left in the $5000 No Limit Shoot out event. Not only that, but he is tied for first place. With the other 30 people. Seem impossible?

The explanation is that this is the $5,000 No-Limit Hold’em Shootout. The structure involves every initial ten-handed table playing down to a single winner on Day 1, without table breaks, as if each were a separate sit-and-go tournament. Each of those table winners made the money and advanced to Day 2. Among those returning when action resumes at 2:00 p.m. Monday are Phil Ivey, David “The Dragon” Pham, Jennifer Harman, Barny Boatman, Neil Channing, and Lex Veldhuis.

Basically, to add his 3rd bracelet this year and 8th overall Phil Ivey has to win two straight six handed sit and gos. Can he do it? This is one time I would DEFINITELY bet on Phil Ivey.

Ivey does it, wins sixth bracelet!

Of all the games for Phil Ivey to win his sixth WSOP bracelet it's kind of fitting that he would do it playing Deuce to Seven Draw. Considered a game that requires a lot of skill it kind of makes sense. Ivey won about $96k from winning this tournament, but the real prize comes in his bracelet bets which was anywhere from 3 to 10 million.

Here's how Ivey did it:

After a period of trading blinds, John Monnette moved all in and Phil Ivey made the call. Everyone left their seats trying to get as close to the action as possible, and each player declared he was taking one card. Ivey had 7-6-4-2, while Monnette held 9-7-5-2. John Monnette showed his card first, revealing another seven, meaning that he was drawing dead. Phil Ivey turned over the five for the winning hand and his sixth WSOP gold bracelet, his first since 2005.

Phil Ivey dominates… charity?

Tiger Woods held his annual charity event "TigerJam" and had quite the turnout with everyone  from P. Diddy and No Doubt to Adrianne Peterson and Dwayne Wade. The charity auction was spirited and who else but Phil Ivey would want to dominate it.

But it was poker pro Phil Ivey who played the winning hand, helping the live and silent auctions go over the $1 million mark with his bids that wound up totaling nearly $200,000! Among Phil’s winning bids, he paid $27,500 to see the NCAA Men’s Final Four in Indianapolis next April and $50,000 for a private lesson with Tiger and the right to play in the Chevron World Challenge PGA Tour in Thousand Oaks, Calif. Incidentally, the president of Chevron threw in a three-year supply of gas for the winning bid! Phil also paid $70,000 for red carpet treatment at the 2010 Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on Jan. 29.

Suddenly betting on Phil Ivey in golf doesn't seem like such a crazy idea.

Bodog has Phil Ivey as favorite in WSOP Props

Do you like poker? Do you like prop betting? Bodog has you covered for the 2009 WSOP.

A special last longer wager is also available on the prestigious $50,000 buy-in HORSE Championship, which was infamously won last year by Scotty Nguyen. He has 5:1 odds in the bet, the favorite among the pros available. Others include Brunson (6:1), Hellmuth (7:1), Chan (7:1), Freddy Deeb (11:2), Phil Ivey (6:1), David Williams (11:2), Justin “ZeeJustin” Bonomo (11:2), and Negreanu (6:1). Deeb won the event in 2007 and the late Chip Reese took down the inaugural HORSE Championship in 2006. The trophy given to the winner of the event is named in his honor.
