2010 World Series of Poker: Full Tilt’s Phil Ivey Wins 8th WSOP Bracelet
When Day 3 of the $3,000 H.O.R.S.E. event started, 25 players were still in strife for this World Series of Poker bracelet, a good number of them with multiple bracelets of their own already, but when the final card was dealt early Tuesday morning, it was the most dreaded man in poker, Phil Ivey, who stood alone with his eighth World Series of Poker bracelet.
All through the marathon Day 3, most people watching clearly saw Ivey making a run, but it never seemed like a dead bolt. It was the stud games that position him up, and in the duration of one seven-card stud round, and one Razz round, Ivey came from about 100,000 to over a million in chips.
At the final table, Ivey failed to secure a massive chip lead, but he did play the role of a slayer. The win was Ivey’s first bracelet this year and eighth taken as a whole. For his attempts, he collected $329,840, though like last year, it’s likely to be a lot further than that because of numerous WSOP bracelet bets.

Poker’s Best Phil Ivey
Phil Ivey is the greatest poker player by far as far as the professional poker players are concerned. However, not all know about him because he’s rarely seen playing in big tournaments.
Phil already acquired 1 win in the WPT events from getting 8 Final Tables. He also managed to get 6 WSOP bracelets. But he has not conquered the realm of Texas Hold ‘Em yet which is the only poker sort which is seen on television.
