Phil Ivey Takes over $1 Million Dollars in Profit in One Day at Full Tilt

Poker News - October 11th, 2009 - Written by Glen

Phil Ivey is being recognized as one of the best poker players of all time, a fact that he continues to prove on a regular basis. Having seven World Series bracelets to his name, and a shot at an 8th in the Main Event for the year, one might think he would be satisfied. No, instead Ivey continued on to incite envy in failed poker players around the world by taking down a profit of over $1 million dollars in one day, all through Full Tilt Poker.

On October 7th, 2009, the day progressed fairly normally for most people. While the general population was at their 9 to 5, Ivey was hitting the tables at Full Tilt Poker with other greats such as Tom "durrrr" Dwan, Patrik Antonious, and Ilari Sahamias. After his daily grind, Ivey came out with over a million in profits in that single day alone. The statement, "Work is for people who can't play Poker," really shines through with Phil Ivey.

Online Poker may have received a bad rap from many players, but the fact that certain players can truly excel at the game shows that it is a predominantly skill oriented competition. Looking at Phil Ivey's history for his largest hands, the young player has taken down pots over $400,000 dollars with consistency. What could be eight year's worth of salary for certain citizens, Phil Ivey has made over night - only through Full Tilt Poker, which may as well be called Phil Tilt Poker.

While for some people poker is a game, for the legends it is a way of life. Thankfully we all have the opportunity to climb to such heights, should our skill prevail. Full Tilt poker is open to any player of legal age, and with some skill and a bit of luck, any player could be playing along side Ivey and the other top competitors in only a matter of time.
