Losing the Main Event with a 2nd nuts hand like this would just suck. I'd rather get sucked out on the river than have my heart broken with this hand.


Quads vs. 2nd Nuts

Ryan Fisler re-raises his opponent all-in on a board of 7

for quad 7's. Not only is his opponent in shock, but now he's left with only $900 in chips. After this hand, Fisler is sitting with roughly $16,000.

Almost the same hand happen to me the other night online, and I bet some would cry rigged, bots, cheaters.....LOL

Anything can happen on a card tbl

I agree some nobody is going to win this, but I hope Phil wins this...

My buddy was a dealer in AC, and had him at his table a few times when he played with fake ID (under age)

Phil Ivey usually called “Tiger Woods of poker” has won several big tournaments. He won 3 World Series Of Poker bracelets in 2002, only 26 years old, and has now earned a big respect in the poker community. He is known as one of the hardest player to read at the poker table with cold moves and confusing play.
Phil Ivey was born 1976 in California. He grew up in Atlantic City, New Jersey where he started his professional poker career. Before he started with poker his big passion was to play video games and he was well known in the video game communities. He is a former salesman and he used to work in a telemarketing firm in New Jersey. Phil now lives in Las Vegas where he married with his high school sweetheart.
Although his nickname is “No Home Jerome” most people know him by “Tiger Woods of poker”. A lot of people have gotten to know Phil through the television where he has appeared several times.
Phil Ivey is an active online poker player. He is part of the very attractive Team Full Tilt which consist of the following players: Phil Ivey, Howard Lederer, Chris Ferguson, Andy Bloch, Erik Seidel, Phil Gordon, Jennifer Harman, Erick Lindgren, Clonie Gowen and John Juanda.
The most remarkable with Phil would be that he won 3 World Series Of Poker bracelets in 2002. He now possesses 5 WSOP bracelets: 2005 - Pot Limit Omaha, 2002 - SHOE, 2002 - 7 Card Stud Hi/Lo, 2002 - 7 Card Stud, 2000 - Pot Limit Omaha. He was only 23 years old when winning his first WSOP. Another aspect that is impressive is his style of play. He is one aggressive player and he has tricked many players to believe that he has nothing then took them all down. Phil is a very cool customer at the table very focused on what his opponents are doing. Very respectful player in both Omaha and Seven Card Stud (where he has won WSOP bracelets) but it is in fact at No Limit Texas Holdem he is mostly known and respected. With an eye like a hawk and a style of smooth aggressive play he is one of the promising young poker players for the future.

Does anyone know what the top prize will pay this year since all entries are now in and what place do you have to finish to become a millionaire.

Hardest Beat EVER
Jack Mahalingam is all-in for $5,000 and is called an opponent in late position. Mahalingam shows 8spade8club and his opponent has 5heart5club. The flop is 6spade5spade5diamond and his opponent flops quads. The turn is a 9spade giving Mahalingam a gut-shot straight flush draw (his only way to win). The river is the 7spade giving Mahalingam the straight flush and the hand.

How could they know anything about payouts until they close the field? I heard $12 million to the winner if they got to 8,000 entries, did they decide to hold that down to pay out more to the field?
