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.
