What do you think Ivey had here? No hand makes sence the way he played it. KQ,Q9 of clubs??
Cool, Ivey almost busto. Most likely scenario is 9 randos at the FT, and that's a good thing. The last thing poker needs right now is for a top pro to win the ME. We need another Moneymaker cinderella story, the pros make enough money the rest of the year. I'm rooting for the biggest joe average donk left, whoever that may be.

That's what happens every year since Moneymaker won. I don't think it helps poker in any way.
