I've only seen the one commercial, with lines like:
-started in 82 playing seven card stud on his kitchen table
-chased his dreams to Atlantic City
-on November 10th he will be playing on the final table of the biggest tournament in the world

It got me pumped up. It was so well put together. Almost like a 30 second mini biography of this man's amazing life. I want to find it online and watch it again.

One is talking about his journey from childhood->cash games in vegas and ends in all tourneys and cash games have led up to this moment. Watch Phil Ivey in the final 9 in the greatest poker tournament in the world. The other is talking about fairy tales and how this year is different. It ends with them talking about the worlds greatest player playing the final 9 in the worlds greatest tourney. Easily the best FTP commercials to date, actually have a bit of an epic feel to them

I liked the fairy tale thing. Like too many years of feel good stories of nobodies scoring life changing money with a bunch of luck. And ha! This year will be different, Phil Ivey will stop anyone from having that fairy tale ending.

i like a few FT commercials, like the Ivey thought process , and Harman's KK fold , but i thought this commercial was verrry corny.

These commercials are also a jab at the US Government and the UIGEA. They are saying that it isn't luck or fate, and no fairy tale. Ivey got there by being the best of the best.

I could be wrong but isn't Ivey very shortstacked and will probably be all in in the first orbit or two?

The 'chased his dreams to Atlantic City' one is one of the best poker commericials ever, if not THE best.

Yeah I knew Phil Ivey made the Final Table but my wife didn't, and she was pissed about the spoiler. How stupid do they have to be to allow that? That was by far the #1 interesting drama of the final 18 -- will Phil Ivey make the final table. For all I know, they have been running that spoiler commercial for months, but I usually Tivo and fast-forward commercials.

I don't understand how they (or Full Tilt) could be that stupid.
