Poker superstar Phil Ivey made poker history again on Tuesday 28th June, besting a field of 133 of poker’s toughest players to win the $5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha event at the 2005 World Series of Poker.
Ivey took home $635,603 and his fifth World Series of Poker bracelet for his victory in the 27th event of poker’s biggest series of tournaments. This performance marks the fifth final table in two months for Ivey, an accomplishment no other poker professional has achieved. The WSOP victory puts Ivey’s collective tournament winnings over the past two months at more than $1.4 million.
Ivey’s peers, including fellow Team Full Tilt member Howard Lederer, continue to be amazed by his accomplishments. “Phil Ivey proves once again that he is the best all around player in poker. He has now reached five major tournament final tables, even though he is playing a limited tournament schedule this year”, Lederer said.
Ivey’s victory continued the dominance of online poker site www.fulltiltpoker.com in this year’s World Series of Poker. Fellow Full Tilt Poker representative Allen Cunningham took fourth place after winning his own bracelet in the first open event of the World Series.
