Last night the American poker pro Erik Seidel won the NBC National Heads-up Poker Championship and received a first place prize of $750,000! Thanks to the huge win, Erik Seidel also overtook the lead from Daniel Negreanu on the All Time Money List.

2011 has been a fantastic year for Erik Seidel so far. He has won more in these 2,5 months than he has won in a whole year before. Let's now hope that Daniel Negreanu and Phil Ivey haven't given up for the fight for the top spot on the All Time Money List!

Phil Ivey, the American Full Tilt Pro, recently finished in second place in the $100,000 challenge of Aussie Millions in Melbourne, Australia. Thanks to the win, Ivey received nothing less than AUD$600,000 ($544,219 U.S. dollars) at the same time as he overtook the first place (earlier held by Daniel Negreanu) in the All Time Money List. This means that Phil Ivey now has won the most money all time. As you might understand - it's not small amounts we are talking about here. Phil has won $12,804,433 through his career.

Phil Ivey - In his own words about the second place finish in Aussie Millions and being on top of the all time money list .

"It's just another poker game. I don't think I'll celebrate too much. I'm just going to go to dinner, maybe have a glass of wine or two and play some poker later"

"I don't really think, ‘oh I'm the best in the world. I just try to perform the best that I can day in and day out."
