The Greatest Poker Player in the Planet Today

By Yushua Ryoichi

Phil Ivey is the greatest poker player in the planet according to the professional poker players themselves. However, not all knew about him because he's seldom seen playing in big tournaments.

He already have 8 Final Tables in the World Poker Tournament events and garnered one win. He also owned 6 WSOP bracelets though none of it are from Texas Hold 'Em given that this poker game is the only one you can see in TV.

Phil make millions each year on the poker tables unknown to the ordinary citizens. That's why he is so famous as the most excellent poker player in the world because he is a very good in cash game plays making it as his way of living. Tournaments are not his main priority.

His ability to win cash games can be seen on his rewards. He got 6 bracelets so far from 5 different WSOP games. You see, if you want to be a superstar like him that plays against the best poker rivals like Doyle and Co., you need to have definite knowledge about all kinds of poker games, because in these games you'll encounter a mixed combination's of games each night.

This is due to the fact that all poker players has a game preference in poker and they tried hard just to include it in the rotation.

Phil Ivey is also played well in the 7 Card Stud. He already won 2 PLO bracelets and 2 mixed events bracelets so far. He also acquired a number of H.OR.S.E final table tournaments.

No one is representing steeper stakes, or doing better in those games than Ivey. How high will Ivey play? In February 2006, he played heads-up Limit Texas Hold' Em versus Texas billionaire Andy Beal. With stakes at $25,000/$50,000, Ivey won over $16,000,000 over the course of three days.

You can actually say that there are other players who play better than anyone else with regards to poker. But for me, there is no greater player than Phil Ivey himself. And he only needs a Main Event win to persuade others to believe that his the best player in the whole world.
