Phil makes a pretty nice call here. He made a continuation bet against John D’Agostino on the flop, turned a pair of nines with an ace kicker, didn’t improve on the river (when a possible straight draw got there), and still called John’s $11,000 bet, which he obviously read as a steal attempt.
Full Tilt pro Phil Ivey showing his skills once again! 
In this interview by Poker Superstars, Phil Ivey looks completely himself — and relaxed. He’s making sense — and I suggest you LISTEN to the man in this one.
A little quote I feel is typical to Phil:
“A lot of players I play with, when they’re losing they play really really terrible. When the guy is winning, I might quit like a few hours. Another night, when the guy is losing, I might play for two days. You know, it all depends.”
You’re right, Phil.
The ever so sexy Kimberly Lansing interviewing our man Phil Ivey at the WPT Doyle Brunson Five Diamond World Poker Classic at the Bellagio for worldpokertour.com. All the time during this interview, I can just feel Phil thinking: “damn, this Kimberly woman looks FINE!”.
Anyway, your basic WPT interview, but this time with a goodlooking interviewer. WIN WIN SITUATION BABY! 
(oh and yes, Phil Ivey had the chip lead 
)
I mean this really isn’t big news — but the fact that Phil actually rebought for 100k more after being felted once by poker pro Ilari Sahamies in a $500/$1000 PLO game on the Full Tilt Poker site (the official sponsor of Mr. Ivey).
People LOSE. Good players LOSE. It’s POKER.
Oh well — for those who ARE interested — read up here on highstakesreport.com.
“The Poker Brat Phil Hellmuth talks about losing over half a million dollars to the ever so lucky Phil Ivey in a chinese poker game playing for one (and later on two) thousand dollars per point. Now, anyone who knows the game of Chinese poker a tiny bit knows that’s a huge amount of cash to be playing chinese for — resulting in Phil pretty much offloading a house there…”

Excellent!!
Got to love Phil’s bet on the flop there… David Layani slowplays his AA and gets hammered by Phil Ivey from the flop on…
Commentator has it right: “There’s two leagues in the world of poker. There’s the professional level, and there’s the IVEY LEAGUE”. He’s so right.
Lots of risk by Ivey, but played to perfection.
Phil plays pocket kings against Jerry Fitt who holds J9 suited. The flop gives Ivey quad kings — but means two pair for Jerry. Both players check, but on the turn Jerry check-raises Ivey… The river fill Jerry up, and obviously Ivey easily shoves it all-in…
An expert fold by Jerry Fitt — excellent play by Phil, unlucky not getting payed off though…
Ever wondered what the mind of Phil Ivey is like during a pokergame? Well — no answers here, but a very fun to watch Full Tilt ad none the less…
Full Tilt does such a good job in creating their ads — I love ‘em!
Euh — some strange news was found on blog-tique last week — I didn’t notice it until I saw they actually linked to us (thanks!). Well — apparently they have news Phil will soon become an UNDERWEAR MODEL.
You read it right. Mr. Phil Ivey, poker pro, golf enthusiast and underwear model. Why not?
Phil is by far the most sexy professional poker player if you ask me — so I’m sure he’d do a great job. GO FOR IT PHIL!!
Phil Ivey playing super strong from the button, playing aggressively and getting top pro Erick Lindgren to throw away his top pair with eight high.
A lot of aggressive play from Phil in the Pro/Am Equalizer, by the way. Love how he played there. Cheryl Hines was happy not to be a part of this pot.
