Some people just don't like cocky people. He has all this money, yet seems pissed off all the time. If I get the chance one day to have a conversation with him, I my change my mind. But based on appearances, he seems like a dick. IMHO, FWIW (which is probably not much )

Action Sloooooooooows
If you've looked at our Prizepool and Payouts page, you probably noticed that the 28th-place finisher will receive $253,941. What you may not have noticed is that the 27th-place finisher will receive $352,832. That's a $99,000 difference for finishing one place higher.
It should be no surprise, given that difference, that play has tightened up massively. Even with four tables in play, there's not a whole lot going on right now. Nobody wants to be the player who busts in 28th place and misses out on an extra six figures -- not to mention the extra TV exposure ensured by coming back tomorrow.
damn Ivey down to 11 million...

down to 27 players

Joe Ward Eliminated in 28th Place ($253,941)
Jamie Robbins and Joe Ward got their entire stacks in before the flop, Robbins having Ward out-chipped by about 200,000.
Ward AsKh
Robbins AhQc
The flop was Ad-Tc-8d, Ward still in the lead. The turn was the 2d but the Qh cruelly spiked on the river to end his Main Event run in 28th place.
After the hand, Robbins was up to 8.7 million.

That's the end of the night right, or do they finish off the level?

That has to suck to get 3 outered on the river for basically $100k

If he had AA, the only thing that beats him is QQ or x3 (which is unlikely). You don't insta-fold in that situation. He most likely was bluffing.

Moon up to 20 million. Holy shite.

Nick Maimoni is in 19th place right now, i used to beat him at poker when we were freshmen and sophomores in college, if he wins it all i will prolly always question how i might have faired
You do realize that Nick is currently the 59th ranked online player in the world? I am not saying you didnt beat him but he has obviously dedicated himself to the game and done everything it takes to make himself one of the premier players in the world.

why do people always call JJ vs A10 a race?

Posted on 7/15/09 at 9:44 am to Maximus

Dude won't blow that money. He's smart with it.
Some tidbits about Ivey.
quote:
1. Phil Ivey, according to many people in the game, is one of the most winningest players in the "Big Game."
2. Phil Ivey, as part of the Corporation, won a significant amount of money from Andy Beal.
3. Phil Ivey is a very successful tournament player.
4. Phil Ivey once signed up for a $10 million dollar SNG. Only one other player signed up.
5. He has enough money to "forget" that he had $750k in chips stashed at the Commerce casino.
Estimates on his liquid poker / gambling bankroll? Adding everything up, you would have to say at least $25 - $35 million.
Now, when you start talking about his total net worth, you need to include:
1. His stake in Full Tilt Poker
2. His real estate investments.
3. Any other investments.
quote:LINK
I would guess that Ivey has between $35 - $45 million in liquid assets and another $35 - $45 million in net worth due to his stake in Full Tilt Poker. Again though, this is just pure speculation. There is no doubt that Phil Ivey is incredibly rich though.
