Ivey before play began today
Phil Ivey currently sits in third place for all-time tournament earnings with $12,096,302. Daniel Negreanu is the top dog with $12,427,047 and Jamie Gold is in second with $12,198,041. That number for Ivey already includes the 9th-place money he received upon making the November Nine. Therefore, Ivey needs to earn $330,745 in order to eclipse Negreanu and take over the number one spot.
As of right now, Ivey's guaranteed 7th-place money and that puts him in second place ahead of Gold. In order for Ivey to pass Negreanu, he'll need to finish in 5th place or better. Finishing in 6th won't quite do it, as he'll be a few thousand dollars short of Negreanu.
