The Phil Ivey Show

Phil Ivey

Phil Ivey's feeling pretty good after winning his first bracelet of the 2009 WSOP in this same game a week ago (and thereby winning some sizable prop bets). He's engaging in friendly banter with lots of people around him.

"Hey Phil, I've got 25,000," said John Hennigan from an adjacent table. "Can I get a book?"

"Can you get a book? Yeah, ok," replied Ivey. "I'll give you a 25% book. See, I don't care. That's just the kind of guy I am."

"Thanks Phil," said Hennigan.

"Anything for you, World. $2500 coming my way!"

"I don't have to pay, right?" replied Hennigan.

A few minutes later, Ivey was in a pot against Tom "durrrr" Dwan. Dwan bet 2,200 after the draw and induced a muck from Ivey.

"I should have raised you," Ivey mused. "Would I have won it?"

Dwan mumbled something, then added, "I don't know, I don't play this stupid game."

"That's why I should have raised it," replied Ivey.
