Phil Ivey Fan

This is by far the best Full Tilt poker commercial I’ve seen. Phil Ivey and a bunch of Phil Ivey wannabes at a table, Phil being cool as ever and the midget opponent being the true Phil clone.

For some reason, this version never made it on tv — but I love it!

Other players in the end include Erick Lindgren, Howard Lederer, Mike Matusow, John Juanda, Chris Ferguson, …

Superstar gambler Sam Farha flop a straight AND a flush draw, and Phil gets sucked in with his set. Mike The Mouth takes a stab at the pot with what Jamie Gold would call top/top, but releases quickly. Sammy moves all-in, Phil calls after some hesitation — and then sucks out. “Oh well,” says Ivey.

A painful beat for Sammy Farha, but he takes it like a man. Good hand.
