Phil Ivey, widely regarded as one of the greatest poker players of all time, has added another chapter to his illustrious career by winning his 11th World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet. The victory, achieved in Event #29: $10,000 2-7 Triple Draw Championship, moves Ivey past legendary players like Johnny Chan, Erik Seidel, and Doyle Brunson, and into second place on the all-time leaderboard, just behind Phil Hellmuth.

Ivey’s victory was a thrilling conclusion to Day 4 of the event, which saw three players return to the table after 13 hours of play. Ivey, who entered as the short stack, made a dramatic comeback, drawing a wheel in a massive pot against Jason Mercier to virtually tie Danny Wong for the chip lead. Wong, however, pulled away, and Ivey was forced to make a comeback against Mercier, ultimately sending him to the rail in third place. Ivey then applied pressure on Wong, eventually taking the chip lead and never looking back. His victory was marked by a nail-biting heads-up battle against Wong.
