Phil Ivey Wins World Series of Poker Bracelet #6

Phil Ivey captured his sixth World Series of Poker bracelet on Thursday evening after taking down the $2,500 No Limit Deuce-to-Seven event, but it wasn't easy.

Ivey was one of the short stacks heading into the final table, but that didn't matter - he was able to battle back and eventually win his sixth bracelet.


John Monnette had the pleasure of squaring off against the best poker player in the world in heads-up play.

Monnette, who started out heads-up play with a 615k to 481k chip advantage, initially looked as though he was going to get completely obliterated by Ivey.

The chip lead swung back and forth during heads-up action, but eventually Ivey was able to overcome the very tough Monnette.

For his victory in this event, Phil Ivey will take home $96,361, plus the coveted World Series of Poker bracelet.
