The look of a seven time bracelet winner
The look of a seven time bracelet winner
When we started today with fourteen of the world's best Omaha/Stud players, you kind of got a feeling it was going to be a special day. Any final day which features superstars such as Chad Brown, Blair Rodman, Steve Wong, Dutch Boyd, Jon Turner and Carlos Mortensen is going to produce a final table for the ages. However, it was the undeniable presence of the six-time WSOP bracelet winner that was sending whispers around the Rio.

Could Ivey really make it number seven today? Two bracelets in one year? All while multi-tabling two different WSOP events!

The achievement would cement his place as a legend of poker and arguably the best player in the modern game. We say this, like there was ever any doubt.

At times it seemed like Ivey just couldn't be touched as he cut through the final table like a knife through butter, claiming the chip lead and the destiny that awaited him.

A memorable day for the WSOP, and the buzz in the air this evening was one that those present will always remember. Thanks for your company this evening, I hope you enjoyed yourselves, and see you again soon!
