You would be hard pressed to find a single person in the Amazon Room or across the poker world that did not want to see Phil Ivey make the 2009 World Series of Poker Main Event final table. He’s gone and completed that task after so many close calls over the years.
If there is one way to describe Ivey’s day it would be “grinding”. He caught a pocket jacks twice in the early going, losing both and knocking down his chip stack. The rest of the day he spent picking his spots and playing poker while others seemed to panic and make bad moves. He picked off Jamie Robbins with a preflop all-in AT but there were no other major swings.
The rest of the field contains three other Full Tilt sponsored players in James Akenhead, Steve Begleiter, and Eric Buchman.
I will return tomorrow with profiles and more stories from Day 8.
