edit to add usain bolt fun fact: if you aggregated all of the best 10m splits ever run in the 100m prior to the 2009 world championships (i.e., best first 10m run ever plus best second 10m run ever, etc), you get 9.58s. bolt's 100m time at the 2009 world championships: 9.58s.

I buy in for $30,000, and a short while in, I'm up to about $51,000, and we're down to four. I'm on the button, and UTG folds. I look down at A  9 , and make it $1000 to go. The SB folds, and Ivey flat calls from the BB. The flop comes A  , 9 , 8 . Ivey checks. I fire $2000 into a pot of $2250. Ivey calls. The turn is 9 . Ivey checks again. I check behind, figuring if he catches a flush on the river, I'm going to get paid. The river is 3 . Ivey fires $15,000 into a pot of $6,250. I've got him now. I do some Hollywooding before telling him that I don't think he has the flush, and firing his $15,000, and the rest of my stack, about $33,000 more, into the middle. He tells me that I'm right, he don't have spades. Before he even finishes getting the chips into the middle, I know I'm beat. He shows me A A, aces full of nines. Worst. Cooler. Ever. In one hand, I lost everything I had saved. My college tuition. Everything. It was months before I even sat down at a poker table again. |

Lets see how/if this affects Ivey as i have always felt that it was good for him to have someone around who knew him from before he became "The Phil Ivey"

I just realized Ivey passed DN. That'll put a crimp Daniel's 2010 goals.

Re: Phil Ivey is the Stone Cold Nuts
From DN's thread where he answers people's questions about Ivey:
Q: "how true if true is this story?
Hang around Vegas a while and you'll hear many tales of luxurious excess, though few can rival this Phil Ivey anecdote we heard moments ago.
Allegedly a group of businessmen were enjoying dinner at the Wynn when they looked over at one of the nearby tables to see none other than Phil Ivey.
Big fans of the poker superstar, they summoned the waiter and asked him to send Ivey a bottle of Cristal champagne, compliments of their table.
Happy with their deed, they went back to tucking into their top-class steaks.
Twenty minutes later, the waiter came back...armed with five bottles of Cristal!
"These are for you, courtesy of Mr. Ivey."
The businessmen were impressed. These bottles were selling at four or five hundred bucks a pop so $2.5k's worth of top class champagne was a very generous gesture.
They felt like they still wanted to send a message to Ivey that they were big fans of his though and took the waiter aside for a word.
"Would you have twenty bottles of Cristal delivered to Mr Ivey please?"
The waiter raised his eyebrows just a notch but took the order, made arrangements and twenty bottles of Cristal were sent over to the poker legend.
If you four-bet Ivey, don't be suprised if he 5-bet shoves!
The businessmen were satisfied that their point had been made and went back to talking about stocks, shares and of course cracking open a few of the five bottles of champagne stocking their table.
Some time later, they noticed a group of staff approaching their table.
They watched with ever increasing disbelief as bottle after bottle after bottle of Cristal was unloaded until their table and surrounding area were filled with no less than 200 bottles of the vintage champagne - retailing at approximately $100k!
When the delivery had been made the waiter passed the awestruck businessmen a note.
"This is from Mr Ivey sirs."
As the waiter walked away they all crowded round to read the note.
It simply said, "...and I won't stop."
That's why Phil Ivey is the Cristal Balla!"
DN:
"Close, but they got the details wrong:
Rich dude at club send 10 bottles of Champagne over to Ivey's table.
Ivey sends back 20 bottles.
Rich billionaire guy sends back 30 bottles.
Ivey sends 40 bottles.
Rich guy sends 50 bottles.
Ivey sends 80 bottles.
Rich guy quits.
Everyone in the whole club has a bottle of champagne in their hand. The next day Ivey's hosts at the casino call and say, "Ivey what did you do!!! You know we have to pay for all that!!!" He goes, "Oh well, I can play craps somewhere else..."
