Phil is a great player and just getting started. If Moneymaker didnt get the full house he probably would have won it all. But Phil if you need a hobby e-mail me and teach me a better approach at play holdem or 7 stud.

Ivey is definetly one of the best poker players for his age. Only 27 and he is still one of the most feared players. Phil has great potential and will likely win the WSOP sometime in his great career. GL, your one of the best

Who chokes on a chicken bone? way to mess that one up, hahahahahaha

This dude had a horseshoe up his ass for a year that's all. It just so happened to be the year that poker exploded on TV. What has he done in the past year and a half? Nothing! He's not a player. Gimme a break.

I agree with IVEY IS OVERRATED. Moenymaker had A-Q and the flop was Q-Q-x. Ivey called a big flop bet with pocket 99s and spiked a 9 on the turn! MM bet again and Ivey moved in. MM called and hit an A on the river. What was MM supposed to do lay down A-Q on that board? Ivey got lucky and hit a two outer after making a horrible call. He deserved to lose and he is not very good.

WHat a phuckin' thug coming to the WSOP wearing a NBA jersey. This guy has a s h it ton of cash and he comes in looking like trash. I luv how he cried when he flopped a set of 7's and got burned buy a set of Kings on the river. DUde was about to cry -

You all are a bunch of losers. You all friggin kiss his @ss. He is a great player, but he's not a fuc king God. Johnny Chan is better than he is. Everyone STFU and if u don't no what that means.

He made a horrible call on Q-Q-x? Sounds like you place people on the nuts every hand and play too scared to win unlike Phil Ivey . He had two pair, most GOOD players would make that call. That being said, he's definitly not the best but he's a great player.

moneymakers flop bet on QQX was small, ivey got the turn card for cheap

Asked him to play heads up $2000 - $4000 twice. He refused both times. My poker bankroll is about $ 7M, and he was scared of that. It is all about perpsective and that goes for any player and their respective bankrools. I can end any "professional" based on cash. Bankroll plays just as large of a part as luck does, in any poker game.

Phil Ivey is for sure one of the best poker players. Poker will only get better for Ivey in the years to come. He will most likely make the final table or win the WSOP soon...good luck Phil

its all cool to say these kind or dumb things about this man on the net.no one will ever achieve what this guy has done and if by some moneymaker long shot you do, i hope they make a site about you and you get dissed. the best players play one hand at a time at any given tourney or cash game. the player with the most succes is the one who keeps his emotions in check.

whoever said he made a bad call on the flop with pocket nines with a board of Q-Q-x is a fu--in moron..the pot had about 200,000 in it after the flop and moneymaker only bets 70,000..so ivey is risking 70k to get back 270k when he can potentially have the best hand and still draw to the the boat..moneymaker made the bad play by letting him in cheaply..then he got lucky..you sir are a moron who knows nothing about poker and odds..go read a book

What happened this year to this so called great player haven'e seen much

The "TIGER WOODS" of Poker?? Fuckong kiddine me? Hey IVey - go call Jason Kidd. Both of you Oreo's can cry me a river you sorry ass thug.

Look Ivey called a cheap turn card but knew Moneymaker had a Queen. Bad play with only 2 outs to win that hand. This guy plays lower pairs too much.Watch what happened to him at the 2004 WSOP on ESPN next month - I was at his table.

Actually - he lost that hand - That'll teach him.

Yeah-I was at his table too, sucks to be Phil in the 2004 WSOP goin out like that. Sorry Phil

every year at the chritmas poker table with the family, who do u think wins? Thats right my cousin phil so all u can shut it

what a cocky azz; he is good, but he will fall if his attitude doesn't change

Ivey is the shizznit and everyone knows it.He plays every hand perfectly and the only thing he can lose to is badluck.

He is very unlucky. AQ...

I've seen this "cocky" guy with the "bad attitude" signing autographs for rude fans who interrupt inm the middle of the 1500-3000 game @ Bellagio. Have any of you haters played in that game?

sure ya did - man get off Ivey's nutz

Hey , Ivey nutz are so big, Ill never get off of them. GO ivey GO !

ok u guys are just so gay... Phil is a really good player just like every one else on the tour.. and one huge part of poker is luck and having some doesn't make u any worse of a player than those with no luck... just get the frick over it!

Phil rocks i wish i could send him a letter

Phil sat infront of me in high school homeroom and was so lazy. Now he is a millionaire and I am the lazy bastard.

Phil,It's a good thing you gave up basketball for poker. I knew that beating you day after day in my driveway would somehow help you in life, LOL. Good luck man, we were all talking about you at an alumni golf outing recently and wishing you well. BB

This guy got me into poker. Just a great player. You better have good cards playing this guy. All of you guys here think your the best damn players in the world and this guy would kick your ass.

I love how some people here think they can read Ivey when most pros, who play poker for a living, can't even read the guy.

Phil was from NJ not Cali

Turning Stone Champion. This guy is the real deal!

That was a great tournament from Turning Stone. I stayed up till like 3 in the morning watching it. The first ever live poker broadcast in the US...I hope Espn considers showing the WSOP live next year

The tournament is too large scale to be shown live... with the technology we have so far anyway. Hopefully WSOP will be a live event at some point in the forseeable future, but for now, you will have to settle for just taped episodes of it.

PHIL IVEY AND CHRIS MONEYMAKER YOUR PRESENCE IS GREATLY REQUESTEDIN BALTIMORE MARYLAND AT THE 1ST $10000 POKER TOURNAMENT ON AUGUST 14 HOTEL ACCOMMODATION WILL BE PROVIDED FOR BOTH OF YOU PLEASE EMAIL ME @ [email]SHALANDA.NIX@RADISSON.COM[/email] OR CHECK OUT [url]WWW.TIMESEVENTS[/url] TO REGISTER. ALL POKER PLAYERS ARE WELCOME TO REGISTER

and phil ivey is totally awesome. sorry phil but never play the ace-queen again because you will run into pocket kings like kirills. you are still the best tho

Bunch of racist, you can't even keep a poker post strictly poker, you are so intimidated and mad that another black man is taking over another one of your sports that it turns into name calling. Look past that and see a great player who just took down the live tourney at turning stone. If you don't agree fine, thats your opinion but don't bring color in this. Get an education.

I saw when Phil Ivey won the poker championship at Turning Stone. He looked pretty serious the whole time. Ivey is one of the top players in the world.

Does anyone know what the ids are for any pros that playon online poker sites? Whoever doubts the skill of Ivey is a moron.
