Is Phil Ivey's poker playing form back?

Phil Ivey lost heads-up to Leon Tsoukernik, the owner of the host King’s Casino in the Czech Republic, in the short deck high roller Sunday. Phil still managed to take home €826,000. Leon couldn't have been happier facing Phil as we can tell from the video included with the article.

In the meantime, Phil is in search of his 11th wsop bracelet in the €25,500 Platinum High Roller No-Limit Hold’em tournament

It must be a great feeling to beat a player like Ivey winner of 10 WSOP bracelets, I can imagine how Leon Tsoukernik would feel to the beat the hall of fame of poker. Ivey still can get his 11th bracelet World Series of Poker

for me one of the best without a doubt he is cold blood in poker

I would like to have participated in this great challenge!

Really like Ivey's style and approach to the game. Great fundamentals and knows how to adjust based on the opponent and table dynamics. Most impressive is value betting and blind defense.

A lot of stress when you have to play with the legal stuff still hanging over his head.
