Phil
Ivey
Phil is
known to
some as
the
Tiger
Woods of
poker,
but I
have to
disagree.
He is
the Phil
Ivey of
poker,
totally
in a
class by
himself.
When you
watch
him play
in
tournaments,
most
people
are in
awe by
how
focused
he is.
He seems
to be
paying
attention
to
everything,
absorbing
every
bit of
information
that the
other
players
give
him.
Another
great
strength
he has
as a
player,
is not
realizing
how good
he
actually
is.
Sometimes
he
comments
on some
of his
games
and he
really
believes
that he
needs a
lot of
work on
some of
them.
It's what
makes
him such
a great
player.
He is
constantly
working
to make
his game
better.
Phil's
World
Poker
Tour
credits
include
a third
place
finish
at the
Foxwoods
event, a
second
at the
Tunica
event,
and
third in
the
season
one
World
Poker
Tour
Final.
His
World
Series
accomplishments
include
2002
World
Series
of Poker
titles
in
S.H.O.E,
7-Card
Stud
Hi-Lo
Split,
and the
$1,500 7
Card
stud
event.
In 2004,
he
finished
in first
place at
the 2004
Championship
at
Turning
Stone.
When I
talk
about
Phil,
people
sense
how
enamored
I am
with
him. One
person
actually
said,
"you
have a
crush on
him,
don't
you?" To
which I
responded,
"I have
a crush
on his
poker
mind."
You can
play
with
Phil at
his own
table at
online
card

Tilt
Poker.
