Phil Ivey 2009 November Nine nuff said
Before becoming a poker professional this young man drove the London train system. Now he conducts his way through the crowds of poker enthusiasts, achieving new heights with every aspiration. Recently James Akenhead achieved a targeted goal of more than 6500 individuals.
He has been playing poker since he was 20 years old. Starting out just an occasional home game, he turned pro two years later. Since then he has joined some friends as a member of ‘the hit squad’ a group of poker players who enter local and international poker events.
Arguably one of the best poker players in the world, Phil Ivey has once again caught the attention of the poker community by making his first main event final table since 1998. Although he competes annually, and cashes several times, he has gained two more World Series of Poker bracelets this year. If he adds the main event bracelet he will match his previous record of 3 bracelets in one year.
Adding to his World Series of Poker bracelets he’s won 2 final tournament tables this year alone. This year’s bracelets include the 2500 USD No Limit Duce to Seven Lowball event and the 2500 USD Seven Card Stud. The vast difference between these games proves his skill and prowess is not limited to popular forms of the game, such as No Limit Texas Hold’em.
In poker your reputation precedes you at the table. With his reputation Phil Ivey walks to the table armed with cannons to everyone else’s swords. He will sit down on November 7th after a four month break as ready to compete as he is today. Some of the nine have indicated they will take some time off, others that they will continue to play actively; it is obvious that Phil Ivey will continue to remain active. If you would like to watch him sharpen the skills further, you will find him at his own table on Full Tilt Poker.
Poker Still Beating
For those who missed it live … here’s yesterday’s Poker Beat podcast to get you through “the grind”, the hump, the “dog days”, whatever you wanna call the Series in mid-June. In this episode, we discuss what a bracelet really means to a guy like Greg Mueller, just how good really is JC Tran, and, in this Year of apparent Multiples, what’s a guy like Roland deWolfe all about? Also … “Full Tilt’s” lawsuit (via Kolyma) vs. an Aruba-Aussie payment processor run by 25-year-old Crocodile D-bag … and “celebrity” tournament director Matt Savage joins us to discuss the TDA Summit — and specifically rule changes related to texting at the table.
Sorry for the slowdown in getting podcasts to you. For those who can’t always handle semi-informed snarky banter for more than 2-4 minutes at a time and need more vulgarity and shticked-up grit, Tao of Pokerati (brought to you by Dream Team Poker) will also be back very soon.
