As all serious poker players are aware, the World Series of Poker is progressing and the great Phil Ivey is still proving how good he is. Phil Ivey has won his 8th career WSOP gold bracelet. In addition he took home $203,802 in prize money, or one PLO hand at the stakes Ivey plays on Full Tilt. Phil Ivey is now tied with Erik Seidel for fourth all-time in bracelets. Johnny Moss, Doyle Brunson, Johnny Chan, and Phil Hellmuth are the only players in WSOP history with more. Given time, Ivey will likely overtake them as well.
