WPT seems to be doing a good job scooping up ambassadors, just wish they would work on making the WPT Global more functional. Right now it feels like a beta version of every other poker client.

Congratulations Phil! I think he is a great choice indeed. Seemingly well mannered and tempered. I like his approach to the game!

No, No and No, they got the nomination wrong, they should have chosen Gritz18, he's way better than this Phil Ivey guy.:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Phil as an ambassador? Come on. He seems to be great player, but lacks at the other department.

Phil Ivey is regarded as the GOAT(greatest of all time) by all the major names in poker(maybe except Phil Hellmuth lol), so definitely he deserves to be a WPT ambassador; also he seems like a great person on and off the poker tables...

Did they change the deck?
I would've preferred if they'd chosen Phyllis Ivey instead (Phil's sister)
