Online poker is going well for Gus Hansen, but quite the contrary for Phil Ivey, Member of team Full Tilt Poker . With Tom Dwan, it is probably one of the biggest legend of poker in line, for several reasons. Its 8 won at WSOP bracelets are as one.
In 2009, Ivey won 6, 34 M$ just by playing at Full Tilt . With his winnings and live tournaments, we imagine that the year was not too bad for him. Only 100,000 hands have been played online. It will be able to beat this figure in 2010? "It could be" because his earnings count is already 4 M$.
Fact to note is that between late May and early August, Ivey was playing less poker online due to many live events that interest him including several WSOP tournaments. It is only since the beginning of last month it resumed its pace on the high stakes tables of Full Tilt Poker. And things are going well for him. August 23 to August 29, Phil Ivey has cashed in just over one million dollars in a few sessions only according to PokerTableRating figures.
According to the website highstakesdatabase , for this one month of August 2010, Phil Ivey has cashed more than 2 million dollars ($2.063.060) of earnings, or more during any of his first year playing on Full Tilt. According to this same site, Phil Ivey would have earned up to now $ 19.468.464 on 5009 sessions.
In 2007, he won 1, 99 M$, in 2008 things were much better while he pocketed 7. 34 M$ and finally in 2009 6, 34 M$. If one adds to this the profit that he has already done for 2010, 20 M$ is more far. Ivey can thank Isildur1 against whom he won 4 of 5 largest pots of his career (between $ 600,000 and $ 800,000 pots) online.
It is not for nothing that many calls it as the best player in the world. In this regard, an interesting article published on PokerNews will develop you an interesting portrait of the man: http://fr.pokernews.com/news/2010/08/effet-phil-ivey-5934.htm.
