Phil Ivey is the greatest poker player in the planet according to the professional poker players themselves. However, not all knew about him because he’s seldom seen playing in big tournaments.

Phil possesses 8 Final Tables in WPT events, and 1 win. He as well gets 6 WSOP bracelets (he won #6 mere days ago) but none of these bracelets are in Texas Hold’ Em, with a few exceptions Hold’ Em is the only poker game adaptation on television. Phil make a lot of money every year on the poker tables unknown to the ordinary citizens. That’s why he is so famous as the most excellent poker player in the world because he is a very good in cash game plays making it as his way of living. Tournaments are not his main priority. His experienced in various cash games is seen on the WSOP bracelets he owns.

That would be 6 bracelets from 5 distinct kinds of poker. If you want to be the best player and to play against the best opponents like Doyle and Co. you need to have a better knowledge of all kinds of poker games because a different combination of games are featured each night.

In this high risk games poker players spent a lot of their time choosing the games to play in each round. For instance, famous player Sammy Farha is playing, certainly PLO is included in the rotation.

Phil is a 7 Card Stud professional, has acquired 2 PLO bracelets, and has 2 mixed event bracelets to his name. He’s also final tabled multiple H.OR.S.E. Tournaments.

No one is representing steeper stakes, or doing better in those games than Ivey. How high will Ivey play? In February 2006, he played heads-up Limit Texas Hold’ Em versus Texas billionaire Andy Beal. With stakes at $25,000/$50,000, Ivey won over $16,000,000 over the course of three days.

You can actually say that there are other players who play better than anyone else with regards to poker. But for me, there is no greater player than Phil Ivey himself. And he only needs a Main Event win to persuade others to believe that his the best player in the whole world.
