Phil Ivey wins seventh WSOP Bracelet

Phil Ivey has won another bracelet, his second of the 2009 WSOP, in Event 25 - $2,500 Omaha/Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo 8-or-better, besting a field of 376 with a final table that included Chad Brown, Blair Rodman, Dutch Boyd, Jon (PearlJammer) Turner and Carlos Mortensen. First place prize money was $220,538 (plus, no doubt, a few more million in bracelet bets).

There are some particular pros that are really shining in this year's WSOP. Phil Ivey has won two bracelets. Brock Parker (a.k.a. t_soprano online) has won two bracelets, including a thrilling heads up victory against Daniel Negreanu in Event 14 - $2,500 Six-handed Limit Hold'em. Ville Wahlbeck, winner of the much coveted Event 12 - $10,000 World Championship Mixed Event (HORSE + Deuce to Seven Triple Draw + PLO + NLHE) also finished in the money in the first four $10,000 World Championship events 2nd place in the No Limit Deuce to Seven Draw and 3rd place in Seven Card Stud.
