Phil Ivey
| It looks like the face of a kid who just roofed his tennis ball. Pudgy-cheeked and a little slack-jawed, with eyes darting furtively left and right, like he's figuring out how to get it down without being sent to the office. It also, however, happens to be one of the most frightening faces in poker. Particularly if you're on the other side of a big pot from it. The face belongs to Phil Ivey: deified tournament hero, feared cash game icon and, quite possibly, the best all-around poker player on the planet. He's grown from known and respected to famous and feared, and he reaps the rewards of that status, on the table and off. "I'm not a prodigy," he says with his usual humbleness. "I just work at what I do." "I work very hard. And I'm always thinking about how I can get better." And everyone in the game is in trouble if he does. |
