Another Pokerstars promise climbing his way till the WSOP top ten bracelets. Being almost loosing in the final table and build the bank again from the start to finish winning the game should be a fantastic feeling.In this year's event many records are being beatten and many newbyes are showing up: poker world will suffer big changes when WSOP is over.
------------ Sorry i called Ivey a Team Pokerstars member, i mean a Fulltilt member (who is already the face of every Fultilt publicity on the net). Sorry if hurted someone's feelings....

I just love the style of Ivey. He looks like there is something seriously wrong with him when he sits looking left-right-left-right-left-right and then makes the right descision. Bet he has a photographic memory to. And bad social skills.

Posted by shokaku: 2-7 is not one of the popular games, so only a field of 147 players.
Ya, not many players. I checked and there's 57 WSOP tournaments for 2009, do you know why so many? I think there should only be 7-8, one bracelet for 8 most popular games. They're giving out too many bracelets I think
