Ivey Captures Sixth WSOP Bracelet

Phil Ivey was able to secure his sixth WSOP win in the $2,500 No Limit Deuce-to-Seven event. Coming back from being a short-stack going into the final table Phil - ever the warrior - battled back and soon found himself heads up with John Monnette. Monnette started the heads-up face-off with the advantage and the lead changed several times before Monnette was overcome by Phil's play and he was out in second place.

Phil's cut was $96,361 but the big money was in sidebets he had with other players. Rumors are that his actual profit on the match was into the millions of dollars.
