    $8.5 million to the winner.....quite a mix of characters remaining.....an ex-Bear Stearns exec, a logger from W.MD who has never owned a PC and the games greatest player - Phil Ivey, are among the final 9.

    I consider myself a pretty savvy poker player. I normally take home more than I bring in our local "friendly" games.

    I readily admit that you could give me a 100:1 advantage in chips against these guys and I would still come in last.

    ditto Tom.....these guys are good and Ivey is just ridiculous.....I've always said if I was reincarnated and could choose a life to come back to I'd pick Tiger, but after seeing the ESPN special on Ivey, if he's not at the top with Tiger, he's a damn close second....that man is living large.
