As tends to be the case lately, Phil Ivey has steadily moved up today's leaderboard without much fanfare whatsoever. Phil Ivey has always been praised as one of the best all around poker players in the world. Many people now believe that with the passing of Chip Reese in December that Phil Ivey is not just one of the best, but in fact the best living poker player on the planet. Ivey is always a threat in mixed events and tonight has proven no exception. If he can stay near the top of the leaderboard, do not be surprised to see him at tomorrow's final table.
