Phil Ivey is the man. Just in case you don’t know who he is – he is far and away the best poker player in the world. Everything he does, he does big. Let’s just say he does not drive a Prius (as depicted in the above photo). Ivey is the Michael Jordan of poker. He is a baller AND a shot caller. He has won 8 World Series of Poker bracelets and is revered as a fierce high stakes cash game player both online and live. The year before Full Tilt shut down, it was rumored that he won $7 million playing poker online and even more than that playing live. He is also a regular at the craps table where he gambles hundreds of thousands of dollars in minutes. ESPN got a great glimpse into his life and put together a great video to document it. While there is much more to Ivey than this story, this is a pretty good glimpse into his high roller ways.
