Looks like he lost the Lakers bet too, however much it actually was. Ah schadenfreude…

Just read he lost the *200k* bet he had with Daniel on who would get a bracelet first. Maybe that amount for the bracelet bet was a total dollar amount between multiple people. I didn’t think he had a $1-2 mil bet with just Daniel…that would be silly.

I heard that Barry greenstein had been asked about Ivey’s gambling and Barry stated not to worry about Phil. because Phil has more in CASH then Barry has in all his assets combined.

And I’m sure Phil has a lot more assets if he has been buying property.

And if this is true Phil must have a lot of CASH because I believe Barry’s a very rich person.

Well that’s the thing … I don’t know that I believe those numbers. Unless Ivey has $40mm in his bank account, I can’t imagine him risking $4mm.

I could be wrong, of course.

I also hear that every time he has a big win, he buys real estate. So overall he seems to have handled his money well. Why would that change?

“ALT HED: I Like Big Bets!” Nice, Dan…you need to copyright this phrase and get someone to do a rap video starring Ivy.

Man, is this guy heading for self destruction or what? If he loses the Laker’s bet and the WSOP prop bet, he will never be the same person.

And he is so bored with poker that he bets flop roullette on every flop if someone gamble with him. Which can throw you off your game no doubt. I saw it first hand
