Phil Ivey is no longer the only Ivey making it big in the poker world, nor is he the only P. Ivey, even. His near-namesake (and near-doppelganger in recent success as well) is named PatIvey and after winning the PKR Masters in September, for about $30,000, and then winning it again in October, for another approximate $30,000, he makes it to the final table of the November PKR Masters as well, and almost makes the hat-trick, coming in third instead to Russian ShatokhinNikita (PatIvey is a Swede). That most recent 3rd place PKR Masters win brought him another $11,250, making his total from just this one recurring event at PKR, $71,250. Add to that, then, the $7,800 win his notched in last Saturday’s Saturday Big Shot event and top prize in PKR’s $10,000 Gtd Prime Time Poker event, and you have a rising star the likes of which Phil Ivey himself will one day probably have to come up against, face to face.
