Phil Ivey spent all of this hand standing up from his seat watching the Colombia-Congo World Cup match on the television screen. "Phil, play some poker," Eric Wasserson told him, drawing a deathly stare from Ivey.
Colombia happened to score right after. "Wass, don't talk to me while I'm watching soccer," Ivey told him.
