Phil Ivey Snubs Featured Table
Word has it that Phil Ivey refused to be part of the featured table in ESPN's coverage of the WSOP early into the Main Event. The WSOP website had reported that Ivey's table was scheduled to be the featured table but was later changed when Ivey protested.
Later Ivey would explain that he was very tired from playing the night before and simply wanted to concentrate on his cards and not on the television cameras and the crowds.
Some rumors speculated that Ivey paid off his fellow table-mates as compensation but others have denied that any payments were offered or made by Ivey.
Whatever his reasons, Ivey seems to have made a wise choice as he has not made the November Nine players who will come back and play the final table of the Main Event in November. Sometimes it pays to concentrate at the tables.

I believe it alright! At last yrs wsop he did the same thing, even went further in refusing to sign autographs for the fans! It's a real shame that for some (not seen at all by many) reason he thinks he better than his everyone else?? He needs to remember without the fans poker wouldn't be where it is today and neither would he because he is a donk. How you made it to final table who knows?! Good luck loser...you'll need it.
