Does this now confirm Ivey as the no1 player in the world.

The more I read into this match the more outstanding I find the game, to actually lose 16million is insane,surely sitting at a tbl with this amount is not playing poker in a sence of a game. It sounds like a very rich person who wants to be known as something he really is not, yes he may be a good player but I would say this is due to his wealth and not skill level.

What would winning a tournament mean to him, I dont know but I would wager that playing against some of the best pros has thought him a lesson that skill is indeed whats needed and not just money and plenty of it.

I suppose they could not televise this match as the stakes are just that little to high between 2 players that it would do more damage for the game of poker than good.

Jennifer Harman, Todd Brunson, David Gray, and Ted Forrest were the other corporation players so I would assume that they are the fellow investors.

I can see Andy Beal now sitting infront of his computer playing in a $100 rebuy and betting allin on any 2 cards over and over again, I am glad he was beaten and even gladder if there is such a word by a real poker pro.
