Just because Phil Ivey will sit down at the table in the show High Stakes Poker later on, I want to dedicate a post just for him. I want to honour a player that is, in my opinion one of the best poker players in the world.

Poker after Dark is up and running again, after a short break. This show is like, different Sit and go’s, with a buy in of $20.000 and winner takes it all. 6 players seated on the table. This weeks episodes includes Jennifer Harman, Jennifer Tilly, Patrik Antonius, Phil Gordon, Phil Ivey and Erick Lindgren. Some topnotch players that makes a really tough table.

Today is a fine day, a day with a brand new episode of High Stakes Poker!

S03e09 to be exact. This week’s episode includes some of the old school of HSP, like Daniel Negreanu, Phil Laak and Mike “The Mouth” Matusow.
