WSOP Legend: 10-Time Bracelet Winner Phil Ivey
Level 30
: 20,000/40,000, 4,000 ante
Few poker players have captured the attention of the poker universe quite like Phil Ivey. There have been plenty of champions of the game who crushed it at the felt, but none who built up the mystique of Ivey, who remains to this day arguably the most magnetic player in poker despite results that no longer match his days of utmost dominance.
A day after the anniversary of Ivey's induction into the Poker Hall of Fame, PokerNews examines the legacy of his WSOP success. Prior to 2000, Ivey didn't have any recorded WSOP cashes.
The 23-year-old didn't waste any time establishing himself as one of the top up-and-coming players. That year, after already making one final table and finishing fifth, Ivey secured his first bracelet. He beat none other than fellow Hall of Famer Amarillo Slim Preston heads up to win Event #14: $2,500 Pot-Limit Omaha, a rebuy event, for his first bracelet and $195,000. Three other Hall of Famers — Chris Bjorin, Phil Hellmuth and David "Devilfish" Ulliott — also competed at that final table, so shipping it was about more than just getting his first taste of gold. Ivey showed he could beat the best in the business.
Two years after that, though, would be when Ivey really showed he was the present and future of the game. In 2002, Ivey showcased his skills at limit poker in a big way.
Yaginuma Can't Call the River
Level 30
: 20,000/40,000, 4,000 ante
Action folded to "OrcinusOrca" who limped in from the small blind and Jesse "Patient0" Yaginuma did the same from the big blind to see a 
flop appear.
"OrcinusOrca" lead out for 40,000 and then did the same for 120,000 after the 
turn. Yaginuma called both bets and the 
completed the board on the river.
"OrcinusOrca" fired out one last bullet worth 324,556 and that did the trick as Yaginuma mucked his hand.

Justin "Jsaliba2" Saliba jammed from the button, Foxen committed the rest of his stack from the big blind.
Foxen had the 
vs the 
of Saliba.
The flop came 
to pair Saliba. The turn was the 
and the river the 
to bring the field down to three.

Justin "Jsaliba2" Saliba: 
Jesse "Patient0" Yaginuma:
