He was also responsible for Tuan Le's WPT victories and Sammy Farha's 2nd in the 2003 main event.

Definitely.

I'm more impressed by Williamson, though. What is this, the fourth or fifth straight year with a top five finish in an Omaha event at the WSOP? Williamson really must be the best American Omaha player in the world.

To be honest, I was rooting for Williamson, though. Nice guy, who deserves more than one WSOP Omaha title.

I played next to this guy for a full day once, and he is one of the nicest, high class guys I've met at a poker table. A lot of fun to play cards with.

For a guy playing a light schedule over the last year, he has had some nice results. I think this was his seventh final table appearance in the last 12 months (1st in this event, 3 WPT's, 2nd place at the Lake Tahoe WSOP event, first at Turning Stone, and 3rd in Monte Carlo).

From www.lasvegasvegas.com/pokerblog/ :

Phil Ivey wasn't going to play in Event #27 $5000 Pot Limit Omaha with Rebuys. He was sleeping at the time that the event was scheduled to start. Barry Greenstein noticed he was not registered, so he woke him up with a phone call. Barry knew that Pot Limit Omaha is one of Phil's better games and insisted that Phil get over to the Rio to play. Phil Ivey mainly concentrates on cash games these days and he chose to play a light tournament schedule this year. It's a good thing that Phil Ivey woke up and answered Barry Greenstein's phone call because he picked up his fifth WSOP bracelet.

Hes only entered 2 tournaments so far in this years WSOP, and he won 1 of them. [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

Too bad he doesn't play more tourneys. I guess hes content to kill the cash games all day long. Cant say I blame him, thats where the real money is.
