Yeah basically the final table is the 6 remaining players of this tourney plus the winner of the "wildcard" tourney.

Kinda strange.

And pokerwire.com is doing updates for the "wildcard" tourney. Last I saw it was down to 12 or 13 players.

The FTP Invitational on T-day will also be 7 handed, so maybe it's an FSN thing.

What's sick is phil managed to more than DOUBLE his stack [1.06m>2.4m] playing down from 12 to 6.

Re: Monte Carlo Millions
 

Is this the same tournament that is airing tonight on FSN? Or is that a rerun of last year's?

Re: Monte Carlo Millions
 

just for an update, i would like to say that phil ivey is the sickest human being on the planet. they are now down to the final 3:

"He moved in with K9 and Phil Ivey'sA 10 took him out, even after the King popped out on the flop, he turned the 10 and rivered the Ace to get up to an astounding chip lead of 4.3 million!

Marc Goodwin has 880,000.

And Paul Jackson therefore 500,000 or thereabouts."

16:01:51 EDT Phil Ivey wins!!!
Phil Ivey will take home $1,000,000 and a championship vase for the win.

Championship VASE! ROFLOL!11

Oh you Euros...funny as hell... A macho game like poker giving out a special vase as a prize. I'm suprised Tony G didn't smash it over Phil's head when he busted...

F**k your Vase mate! I'm going to destroy you!!!@2

Paul Jackson will take home $600,000 for 2nd place.

Re: Monte Carlo Millions
 

A few more wins and this Phil Ivey kid is going to show himself as a fairly sound tournament player. Now if only he could make some noise in cash games.

EDIT:
This win jumps Ivey all the way to the top 5 in the all time money list (according to the Hendon Mob anyway).

Re: Monte Carlo Millions
 

Two hours after Ivey wins, he's on Full Tilt playing $1/2 NL. Chatting with everyone about room service and where he's going tonight. Then he calls this guys all-in for $214, guy shows aces full, Phil shows quad 9's! everyone laughs and Phil apoligizes and says he'll be back later to give the guy a chance to win his money back. Too funny!
