Default Did Phil Ivey implode..?Final table ESPN circuit event Take Tahoe

What do you guys think of Iveys last few televised hands?

IMHO it came across that Phil Ivey wanted to get lucky, rather than outplay his opponent.

Phil Ivey played the last hand on a level I do not understand.

Considering Phil Ivey showed no strength anywhere in the hand, why would villiam believe him and fold? Perhaps Phil Ivey put the villian on Ace high.

It appeared that Phil Ivey ran out of gas.

Any opinions?

If Ivey put villain on ace on on that last hand then why not just call? The all-in with bottom pair is right up there with Lisandro folding his pocket tens. It just doesn't make any sense at all.

He looked like he just got finished [censored] 3 Costa Rican whores for 8 hrs straight.

But yeah, for being the "best player in the world", he blew donkey nuts.

I too believe that all-in represented nothing. Phil's going to wait that long with Ten-better kicker or QT or better hands?

Bad move, but we don't know much about the earlier action (remember the early full house hand)

No, it's much worse. I could see laying down to Phil's all-in early in the tournament with the tens and the 4445 board. I really didn't think the all-in river move was a good one by Phil.

I don't think he really cared. What's 250k to Phil Ivey?

he said in a cardplayer interview that he just wanted to get lucky when it got down to three players and end it quick and that's where he obviously blew it.
