Phil Ivey Rules

Phil Ivey goes vegetarian for $1 million

No Home Phil — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 21:00:18 +0000

High Stakes Poker has gained a certain notoriety among poker fans as being not as much about what happens with the cards, but what happens at the table. Sunday's episode would prove to be no exception as Phil Ivey accepted a bet from Tom Dwan to go one year without eating meat. That's right, Phil Ivey is going green.

Ivey accepted Dwan’s challenge on the show that he couldn’t eat any meat (including fish) for one year for $1 million.

“I’m going to become a vegetarian for a year for a million dollars,” Ivey declared to HSP’s cohost, Kara Scott. “I was thinking about doing it for a while, so this is kind of like an added incentive.”

Perhaps shockingly Ivey doesn't even think he can win saying "I'm gonna lose, I know I'm gonna lose." Ivey tried, unsuccessfully to get the bet raised to $2 million. You know, because $1 million isn't enough motivation.

Phil Ivey divorce

No Home Phil — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 04:18:15 +0000

We are used to reading about Phil Ivey on Poker News, ESPN and dozens of other poker and sports sites, but this is the first time we can remember reading about Phil Ivey on TMZ. Paris Hilton, he's not. Here's the lowdown:

Phil Ivey -- one of the most dominant professional poker players in the world -- isn't suited for marriage ... dude was just granted a divorce from his wife Luciaetta.

Ivey and Luciaetta filed the joint petition in a Nevada court on December 22 ... three days before Christmas. The divorce was granted today -- both parties were present for the ruling.

This comes as a bit of a surprise, but at least it doesn't sound like Phil was living up to his "Tiger Woods of Poker" moniker. Sometimes high school sweethearts just grow apart. It's called life. We wish them both the best.Similar Posts:

Phil Ivey mucks a winner

No Home Phil — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 15:46:55 +0000

In one of the "so crazy it must be true" stories coming out of the 2009 World Series of Poker television coverage comes this story from last night's ESPN coverage: Phil Ivey mucks a winner. With just 26 players to go, Phil Ivey was in a heads up showdown with 2.5 million in the pot. Here's how the hand played out:

Phil Ivey could not catch a break on Day 8 and when he did, he mucked the winning hand. In the sure-to-be-legendary hand in question, Ivey opened pocket eights from under-the-gun for 320,000. The action folded around to Jordan Smith, who three-bet to 1,000,000 straight from the big blind. Ivey called and they saw a flop. Both players checked and the fell on the turn. Check-check again. The river was the -- check-check a third time. Smith opened up his for aces up, but Ivey mucked his spade flush, clearly not realizing he held the .

If it turns out that Phil Ivey doesn't win the bracelet in this 2009 World Series of Poker Main Event, this could turn out to be exactly why. A small mental mistake could end up costing Ivey literally millions of dollars.

Phil Ivey on the cover of ESPN the Magazine

No Home Phil — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 14:00:41 +0000

Phil Ivey has reached a pinnacle that no other poker player* has reached before, he is going to be on the cover of ESPN the Magazine. The magazine will also feature an in-depth look at the life of Phil Ivey and showing a side of him that many have not seen.

The magazine article will spotlight a side of Ivey that has not been exposed to the public, since he prefers to avoid publicity and concentrate on his poker game rather than being a celebrity and appearing on the headlines of the most important media sources.

Phil was kind enough to let the ESPN writer into his day to day life and experience the treatment that the best poker player in the world received in casinos world wide. They flew in Ivey’s private jet to some exotic locations were Phil did his thing.

But the article delves deeper than the great life that Phil has and into the top notch skills that Phil displays on the poker table. Ivey says that his level of play involves more psychological state of mind than mathematical. He can pick-up on tells that a regular person would not notice.

This should be a great article and I look forward to checking it out when it hits news stands on November 2nd.

The question is: will Phil Ivey being smiling on the cover? Or will he have his trademark poker scowl face?

Phil Ivey cruises in a helicopter, likes Coldplay

No Home Phil — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 00:01:40 +0000

This is kind of a weird story coming out of the WSOPE. Phil Ivey decided to take a break from playing poker to check out a Coldplay concert. That part is no surprise. What's surprising is how he got there. From PokerNews:

In London for the World Series of Poker Europe, Phil Ivey decided the city traffic and the underground tube were just not an option, and music mogul Chris Gotti decided it was well worth it to hire a 16-passenger helicopter to take them to Wembley Stadium for a Coldplay concert.

According to the New York Post, the chopper landed in a nearby park where children were playing. Gotti told the newspaper "The kids went crazy and rushed over. They thought we were Jay-Z."

I've said once and I'll say it again, Phil Ivey rules.
