Phil Ivey Gossip

[kerze]

A couple of interesting things here.

It is fairly well known that Ivey and EDog have a big golf bet. Ivey has bet EDog that he will be able to beat EDog with no handicap over 72 holes within 10 years (bet was made a couple of years ago). If Phil is indeed almost as good as EDog, he will probably be able to cash on this bet.

Also, FWIW, I believe Ivey's partner in the match discussed above was Gus Hansen based on this link:

"Hi Blonde people!! This year’s poker frenzy begins with a trip to Australia and the Aussie Millions in Melbourne. Its like a whos who here in The Crown Plaza hotel. Just met Andy Roddick in the lift and Martina Hingis by the pool. Had to blank them both though as I had an important tournament later in the day and didn’t want to lose focus.

All the Full Tilt boys are here and tomorrow we head off with Phil Ivey and Gus Hanson for a high stakes golf match with my partner in crime Ram Vaswani. One round of golf is worth a year’s winnings on the Europen Tour so, as you can imagine, some serious verbal takes place, with all sides trying to negotiate the best handicap - he reason we win is that Ram is different class at winding up Mr Ivey"
