Ivey acquires bracelet #8

He shipped the $3k H.O.R.S.E Event #37
sick field Juanda, Lisandro, Benyamine

Wonder how much he made from bracelet bets.

ivey is just the best this doesnt suprise me one bit lol congrats to the almighty iver hehe

...as far as I know if he wins one more Howard Lederer owes him 5 million.

He's Awesome.

I also was wondering that too. Seems like him and Negraneu had a huge side bet of who would win a bracelette this year.

IMO, He'll pass Doyle, Chan and Phil in just a matter of years for the most bracelettes at the wsop.

And at least the 2011 wsop also counts for that bet (maybe the 2012 too). I don't know why would anyone ever make that bet...

I agree and I think that record will last for a loooong time. With the increasing popularity of poker, I think it'll be more and more difficult to win a lot of bracelets in the future.

Yep.. he needs one more by the end of 2011 to win the bet against Howard Lederer.

I totally agree.

Hellmuth must be sweating now!

Everyone can agree that he is the best there is, and it only helps the argument that he can win his bracelets in non NLHE events. I see him as a guy I will always be able to root for.

Congrats Phil...keep up the good work. :congrats:

Nice going for Phil. I knew he could make it.

Congratulations Ivey on bracelet #8!

It's easy to root for Ivey since he doesn't act like an idiot if he gets outdrawn or unlucky he just moves on to the next hand. He should give a class on how to not act like an idiot and his 1 and only student should be Helmuth.

Apparently he made the bracelet bet with Lederer before his second bracelet last year, meaning he just won a nice little $5m at least

Also, after winning, he said something like 'And how much is it for first in this?'

Straight up g'



Also, all 8 bracelets have come since the turn of the millenium, more than anyone since then. Lol Hellmuth

wooo

when it comes to horse. Ivey is the man. He is just a step above everyone else. Congrats Ivey

I would think it's the opposite...like Doyle said, there's so many events now and so many bracelets given out, it doesn't mean what it used to.

Would love to see Ivey break the record. He's been simply the best for some time now.

Ivey is an absolute beast, I would be suprised if he DOESN'T break the record.

He deserves to win them all! Every tournament, every time!

I'm gonna pull a line from Mr. WaaaWaaaBaby & say "if it wasn't for luck, he'd win them all".

Go Ivey :top:

Ivy is the man period no one should be surprised by this 1.I belive there are many more to come from the champ

The best to watch and learn from. He is truly the best there is right now.

Ivey doing his thing again!

congrats!

he's the best in the world for sure (fingers crossed for the 2010 ME!!!!)

go IVEY!

Phil is the man. What more can be said, i just cant wait for him to beat the record so maybe hellmuth will shut up

There's some speculation (probably not accurate, but whatever) that since Lederer derives a whole hell of a lot of his income from Full Tilt this is as much a business expense as it is a serious bet.

Pretty sure his bracelets from last year don't count and bracelets at the WSOP-E only count for a push, not a win.

Also, Lederer's is probably the biggest bet but it's not the only one Ivey stands to collect on. I'm pretty sure I read he's got one with Tom Dwan. It's a push if they both win a bracelet (WSOP-E counts for this one) so he's freerolling for what's likely a big sum in that one now. There's almost certainly other bets out there too.

Edit: been reading a bit more, sounds like his long-standing $200K per bracelet bet is still on with Negreanu. Best part of all though, IMO? Apparently after winning the final hand he's turned around and asked "So how much is first place worth anyway?"

Life of Ivey (lol he's watching Rocky 4 in his trailer before he goes out and plays the final table) http://www.pokerroad.com/video/life-of-ivey/45

Good job!
He's one of the best pro.
