Phil Ivey dismissed rumors being spread by fellow poker pro Dan Bilzerian that he is broke.

"People can say what they're going to say… I don't really feed into that. His opinion is his opinion… He really doesn't know my financial status,” Ivey said during a rare interview conducted by Bluff Europe.

“Phil Ivey just went broke,” Bilzerian told CardPlayer.com in a January interview.

Ivey, who is the biggest money earner in the game of poker today, went on to win the AUD$4,000,000 in the Aussie Millions LK Boutique Challenge last month.

Ivey also talks about having slept under the Boardwalk as a young man, who may have actually been broke at that time.
