Ivey Down But Not Out In Vegas
Posted on: July 20th, 2009 1:07 pm | By: helenIf you have already put money down on Phil Ivey coming away as one of the top winners down in Las Vegas at the World Series of Poker, well, it seems that the odds are decidedly stacked against him at this point. While most people who belong to the world of online casinos ere correct in their assumption that he would definitely continue on into the main event final table of the casino poker competition, people thought he would also e the frontrunner at this stage of the game, but that is just not the case. Online casino sites are buzzing all over the place as many of the best and brightest form the long list of talented and formidable professional poker players have already been ousted from the contest.
Phil Ivey is one of the only notable players who is even remotely familiar to people who are invested in the comings and goings within the world of online casinos. The action in Las Vegas started out super smooth and relaxed. People were joking and laughing, but that fun-loving atmosphere has died down considerable as more and more casino poker gamers are tossed out of the competition by lesser known contenders. It is anybody’s tournament at this point.
But if Phil Ivey is going to actually make a play for glory by the time the main event comes around in early November, then he is going to have to pull a rabbit out of his hat, so to speak. He is coming into the main event with only $9,765,000. That may not get him enough to last too much longer among the players who have managed to amass some incredibly impressive sums of cash. The frontrunner right now, a player named Darvin Moon has 58,930,000. If Ivey is going to get anywhere, that means a miracle has to occur or the top players who are up there closer to where Moon is will have to make some huge blunders.
