Phil Ivey just won a 16 player sit and go, that's it .. yes of course the $250k buy-in makes it that much more news worthy, but considering the 16 players worth, this truly is just another sit and go. With Ivey having the respect of the "Jordan" of poker, he has a lot more to prove then winning something like this. This wasn't the 6th championship ring, this might be an All Star Game MVP trophy at best with the high standards we set for Ivey. The poker community needs a face like Ivey to come back stronger than ever this WSOP, to show it was right to be a fan of his, that the Full Tilt debacle won't take away from the skill we have all learned to admire. After seeing Phil and the rest of the gangs bi-weekly sponsorship checks from Full Tilt, it must make you wonder, can the great Phil still play with absolutely no fear with his Money Tree chopped down. For what it's worth, I'm just a random person thinking out loud, and I still have respect for Phil, a little more respect for " kid poker " and his insane words against the "shamed" siblings with the occasional c*nt bomb for the duke lol, and after reading about that creep Ferguson, not only does his 60 million in payments make me sick, thinking of ESPN and that awful feature they did on him dancing is down right suicidal , lol .. Well, that's just a run on of mine .. Good work Phil, but hopefully Full Tilt pays the US Players back so you can come out of your US hiding this WSOP, you were missed by fans and competitors who want to play with the Best, and bottom line, no one is bigger than the game, but it sure would be nice to see the unofficial ambassadors seem like the Greats again, not crooks. Thanks Full Tilt.
