I don't understand the shock by all you people. Ivey is a poker player, taking people's money is his job. You people make Ivey out to be like mother teresa when we all know most poker players would hustle their grandma if they could.

Regardless of if Ivey is in the right or wrong here (and if the rumor is true, I would most definitely consider it wrong), this is just a stupid statement. Phil Ivey's job is to take people's money, but does that give him permission to mug some old man and take his wallet? His job is to take people's money ON THE POKER TABLE.

As others eluded to, this would not be a "hustle" as much as it would be flat out cheating.
