A dream scenario for poker fans around the world, the player widely recognized as the best all-around poker player in the world has made the final table of the World Series of Poker Main Event and the world has taken notice. Earlier this month, Ivey appeared on the cover of ESPN the Magazine. He was featured in a segment on E60 and has helped attract mainstream media outlets the likes of USA Today, the New York Times, the Associated Press and even a correspondent from Playboy.
While it’s still too early to tell what kind of effect an Ivey win would have on the poker world, we can assure you it’ll be nothing short of massive.
Ivey enters the final table with 9,765,000 in chips, in seventh position overall, but let’s be honest… that means very little at the moment. All eyes are indeed on Ivey and with 40 big blinds to start the day, he remains an imminent threat to the other eight players at the table.
