As you all know by now if you've been following along with our coverage, Phil Ivey is in the field for this Event 2: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em. After taking a year off from the World Series of Poker last year, poker's number one phenom is back in the confines of the Amazon Room ruffling a stack of chips and looking for his next victim.

Ivey has eight WSOP gold bracelets over his career and over $16 million in career earnings. He currently sits third on the all-time money list on 16th on the SOP all-time money list.

Here at PokerNews we understand that Ivey has a very distinct effect on the field of a tournament and on his opponents. Back in August 2010, The Ivey Effect was published that talks about what Ivey brings to poker that really no one else in the game does.

Check out the article, we hope you enjoy it.
