Phil Ivey is untraceable
The organizers of World Series of Poker are looking the whereabouts of Phil Ivey. They are looking for Phil and he is a well-known poker professional. It has been found that all the nine players who have managed to make it to the final table of WSOP Main Event, they all are unfamiliar. It seems that till the time someone wins the Main Event and gains the fame, no one is actually concerned about it. This is the reason that the organizers were quite happy that someone who is famous poker player and would draw more people to the Main Event 2009.
While playing offline tournament poker in his career, he has already earned $9.6 million and he is amongst the ten players who have earned a minimum of nine million dollars. He has also earned millions in offline and online cash games. Every media group wants to interview the intelligent and handsome Phil. The famous talk shows on television like- Larry King, The Today Show, Letterman, The Tonight Show, and Oprah Winfrey Show they all want him on their respective shows. If it happened then it would definitely help in getting WSOP Main Event popularity.
But it has not happened yet but on the other hand Phil is shy and stayed away from publicity. He has also not featured in any of the major American televison talk shows and not even in the small shows. Increasing the distress of the organizers of WSOP he is a restrained and shy type of person and make every effort to avoid any media attention.
From the public relations point of view it has been a total disaster. Having one of the world’s best poker players and the most successful pro in World Series of Poker Main Event final table didn’t helped at all.
