Talk From the Floor

Daniel Negreanu just took down the $2,000 Limit Holdem bracelet in an event where word is he did not lose a hand heads up. This was being discussed at Jennifer Harman's table and Tom Schneider said it best when he said, "At some point you're going to win the tournament when you don't lose a hand heads up."

Ivey Making Noise

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

As tends to be the case lately, Phil Ivey has steadily moved up today's leaderboard without much fanfare whatsoever. Phil Ivey has always been praised as one of the best all around poker players in the world. Many people now believe that with the passing of Chip Reese in December that Phil Ivey is not just one of the best, but in fact the best living poker player on the planet. Ivey is always a threat in mixed events and tonight has proven no exception. If he can stay near the top of the leaderboard, do not be surprised to see him at tomorrow's final table.
