Has Phil Ivey played anything yet?

Not even heard his name this year. I think he'll show up for the $50k and the One Drop and thats it.

Interesting read Tony. I'm with you about Ferguson but I guess for those who had significant money on full tilt you can't blame them for being angry about the whole saga

Personally I'd like to see some one give him a good kick in the balls
Trust honesty and decency are basic human skills and he has none of them
Disappears for 4/5 years then crawls out from under his stone n expects forgiveness and we all supposed to forget ??
I have to disagree with you both sorry
FFS GET HIS HAIR CUT TOO OLD MEN WITH LONG STRAGGLY HAIR LOOK RIDCULOUS

Has Phil Ivey played anything yet?

He said a year or so ago that he only plans on playing the Main, One Drop and the Players Championship, as all his bracelet bets have dried up.

Ian Johns beat the ever popular Justin Bomomo to the win in event 8, $1500 HORSE

Johns won a limit event bracelet in 2006

Bonomo has 4 second place finishes in bracelet events now

Alan Percal, a 23-year-old actuary from Westin, FL with the Humana health care provider, won the $10,000 buy-in Heads-Up No-Limit Hold’em tournament.

He beat Busquet in the semi and then 69yo John Smith in the final

it was only the second HU tournament that Percal has played
