Phil Ivey

Reminds me a whole hell of a lot of Tiger Woods in looks, poise, and skill. I saw him in the WSOP in a showdown with a big burly guy. The big guy was convulsing in sheer terror as he pushed some chips in front of Ivey in what must have been a very bad bluff. I swear, the dude was trembling and shaking...He probably dotted his drawers as well. Ivey looked at him and said, "You can't be shaking like that. Don't worry, I'll let you have the pot." Ivey is a personal favorite as he hails from Atlantic City, a town where I spent many a summer in the B.G. (Before Gambling) era.

He can psyche you out of a hand. One of the rising stars and I believe he will win the main event one day.
