He's a force to reckon with when it comes to playing poker and other types of card games, but it looks like American poker pro Phil Ivey's good fortune did not work at Britain's Supreme Court - he lost a huge case this Wednesday (October 25) that rendered him unable from cashing in.

However, just recently last week, he has now decided to announce the end of his career as a poker pro, and on Friday October 13, he wrote on his Twitter page:
Larry Flynt, the founder of Hustler Magazine, has had it with President Donald Trump. A full-page ad sponsored by Flynt was published in the Washington Post on Sunday offering $10 million for dirt on the Republican President. Flynt, owner of the Hustler Casino in California and poker enthusiast, thinks that Trump is not fit for the most powerful office in the country and should be impeached.
On October 16 Monday, a Nevada judge said that a lawsuit filed by high-stakes Australian poker player Matt Kirk versus Czech casino owner Leon Tsoukernik can proceed.
