he's short stacked, i don't think he will finish in top 5., but if he can bounce back early given his experience and talent, he can surely win it,good luck to him.

Phil Ivey writing history? Your text may confuse people who do not follow news of poker. Those who won the WSOP without being professional are the ones who have made history: achieving something that only professionals should be able to achieve. Now, if anyone can make it, just needing to have money to pay the buy-in, what are pros for? What do they have more than other players? Sorry Phil Ivey, but you have to win this final table in November to make me admire you. That will be the proof that you are really pro, really good. If you dont, you are a player just like me, except you have a team behind who pays your buy-ins.

It was amazing of course!! Great experience, Will try to come back Day 1 I played well ended the day with 52K, called a huge bet from Ivey on a sick board, he was bluffing On day2 I started really well, won 30k on the first level of the day, on the second level I started playing too many pots and ended up making bad decisions, got short against limped pocket aces and went all in with pocket 7 against AK and the ace came on the river... next time I'll be better prepared for sure gotta love BRM for the opportunity !!
some people won an share on chipmeup for Iveys winning money on the main event....i think they are really happy at the moment.. i wish i had an share ...
gotta love BRM for the opportunity !!
