After prevailing over the 147-player field last year to capture his sixth (of seven) Bracelet and $96,367 in prizemoney, Phil Ivey is still yet to appear in today's tournament.

Ivey is currently sitting with a below average chip stack of 22,000, but with play nearing the money, he will probably remain there for as long as he can.
Hopefully - for the Event #14 followers out there - Ivey will soon make his way into this side of the Amazon room to join the many others aiming to win the fourteenth bracelet of the 2010 World Series.
