Phil Ivey finished as runner-up in the $100,000 the 2010 Aussie Millions event, taking home a meaty $600,000 AUD (about $540,000 USD) that put the Californian at the top of the all-time tournament money list. Ivey, a seven-time bracelet winner at Wold Series of Poker and one-time World Poker Tour champion, has won a total of $12,802,783 in cash prizes as a poker pro. Ivey lost out to Dan Shak, who surely took comfort in his victory in the event worth $1,200,000 AUD.
The new All-Time Money List ranking
After playing at the Australian tournament, Phil Ivey went on to top the all-time money list in poker tournament winnings. With this achievement, Ivey deposed Daniel Negreanu, who lost the honour of richest player ever ($12,432,367) after merely a couple of months of seizing the throne. “He is the best poker player in the world, including every format. I’ve played live with him, and cash, Hold’em, Stud, Omaha, whatever, and he is just the most consistently good player at everything- include online based on what his results look like” affirmed the former best winner in professional poker history: by now Negreanu has been trailing Ivey by $370,416… the clash for the richest player ever is getting tougher every day.
