Phill Ivey is one of the best. Not the best, just one of 'em. When you get to that level of the game, where you are constantly at final tables its really hard to say who's really better. I mean no body would seriously say that money maker is better than Chan, but he bounced him out of the WSOP. In any event you have to repsect ivey none the less. I mean the guy is toatally ice at the table. He doesn't respond at all. I've seen him lose 500K pots with the same reaction as winning them. That's why he's my favorite pro, the guy has ice water in his veins.
