Poker professional Phil Ivey won his seventh WSOP gold bracelet when he emerged as the victor in the $2,500 Omaha High-Low Split/Seven-Card Stud High-Low Split tournament. He collected $220,538 in poker prize money along the bracelet. Ivey is now tied with Billy Baxter with seven WSOP titles and bracelets. Besides his seven wins, Ivey has made it to 19 final WSOP tables, and has finished in the money 33 times. His WSOP earnings are close to $3.5 million. He won three of his bracelets at the 2002 WSOP. Ivey, who is 32, was born in California and moved to New Jersey as a boy. He began his poker career playing Seven-Card Stud in the Atlantic City casinos, where he quickly earned with a reputation as a poker “savant.” He moved to Las Vegas when he was 24, and won his first WSOP bracelet in 2000 when he bested poker legend Amarillo Slim in heads-up play. Two other former WSOP bracelet winners, Carlos Mortensen and Russ “Dutch” Boyd, made it to the final table. Ming Lee finished second, and this was also his second WSOP final table. The event drew 376 players, with 40 cashing. The final poker online table lasted six hours, with Mortensen and Ming surviving among the last three players.
