Phil Ivey Wins Bracelet Number 7 at 2009 WSOP

Winning a single WSOP bracelet is difficult. Winning multiple bracelets is a sign you're in an elite class. Winning two in a single year means you're a poker legend. Well, if that's the definition of a poker legend then Phil Ivey has entered into that class. Phil Ivey took down the $10,000 Omaha 8/Stud 8 event for his second bracelet of the year.

No telling how many more he might accumulate but rumors have it that he has a $5 million bet with Howard Lederer that he will win more 2 bracelets within the next 3 years. But the kicker is that the bet was made after his first bracelet this year but before the second so he's one down and one to go to collect $5 million and he has this year and two more to do it.

Also worth a watch here is Daniel Negreanu's commentary on how many bracelets Phil could win over the next several years. Doyle's probably got one or fewer WSOP wins left in him at his age, Hellmuth and Chan might have a few more. But if Ivey keeps focused he could become the all-time leader in bracelets won.
