Ivey Distracted

[user38368]

Despite betting millions on himself to win a bracelet this year, Phil Ivey's attention is totally on Lakers-Celtics Game 3. During a recent hand, Ivey didn't look at his opponent a single time - Ivey threw out chips with his eyes on the game only. Think Ivey may have something riding on the outcome?
