Phil Ivey On Top

With the 2010 Aussie Millions $100,000 Challenge in the books, Phil Ivey’s finish in second place was good enough to put him in the top spot over Daniel Negreanu on the All-Time Money List.

Going into the final table, Ivey was fourth in chips. His opponents were Dan Shak, Howard Lederer, Barry Greenstein, Billy Jordanou, Jonathan Karamalikis, Tony G, and Tony Bloom. Only five of the eight final tablists would make the money.

Ivey went heads-up against Dan Shak with a slight chip lead. The two went back and forth a little and eventually became even. Then suddenly, Shak took a big pot from Ivey and had a three to one chip lead on him.

Eventually Shak took down the poker superstar in a hand that had a strange hint of World Series of Poker déjà vu.

Ivey took home $600,000 AUD for the second place finish and on top of his many other major accomplishments in poker, can now say he’s the all-time money winner.
