Ivey Knows What to Do

It's hard to put into words how catastrophic the EPT bubbles can be sometimes. Everyone is kicked out of the tournament area, including the press who actually need to see what's going on. When a player is all in during hand-for-hand play, that table is swarmed by fifty or so players and spectators pushing and elbowing their way into each other to try and catch a glimpse of the action. Plus four guys with about 50 pounds of camera gear apiece. When the hand is over, the players all race back to their chairs, knocking over what or whoever is in their way so that they can make it back to their table before the dealer mucks their cards for the next hand.
We'd imagine Phil Ivey wasn't to thrilled about the circus around him, and he's decided to just take his stack of about 200,000 and call it a night. His chair is empty, and the job of bagging up his chips tonight will be handled by a member of the staff.
See you tomorrow, Phil.
