The best poker player on the planet, former Full Tilt Poker pro Phil Ivey decided to return to his beloved poker tables. He is currently playing at the Asia Pacific Poker Tour (APPT). Phil Ivey is considered the best poker play in the world, however, he didn’t attend a live poker event since the Black Friday of poker. He issued a statement in May, in which he announced he sues FTP for not paying their customers. He also said he would not play at this year’s WSOP, if the situation doesn’t change. He revoked his lawsuit later, but he never attended the World Series, nor other tournaments, until now.
Ivey is currently in Macau, and reportedly plays at high stakes cash game tables. It has been rumoured that he entered the APPT Main Event as well, but many people in the Macau casinos doubt that.
However, the non-believers proved to be wrong, as Phil Ivey arrived to his table yesterday by the end of the 2nd blind level. He’s still in the game currently.
Ivey’s last tournament was the World Poker Tour Bay 101 Shooting Star, which he played in March.
