Phil Ivey won his sixth World Series of Poker bracelet over the weekend in the 2009 WSOP Deuce-To-Seven tourney. The tourney isn’t one of the more popular tournaments at the WSOP, but Ivey ranked in close to $100k for the win. Overall this would be a no story for the most part if it wasn’t [...]

commentNo Comments

The 2006 WSOP Main Event is over and a former Hollywood talent agent is now a very very very rich man. Jamie Gold pretty much ran away with the tournament especially at the final table yesterday. I find it quite odd that earlier in the week there was an article at ESPN that he was [...]
