Phil Ivey Going Strong at 2012 Aussie Millions Main Event
Poker pro Phil Ivey is among remaining 26 players at the 2012 Aussie Millions Main Event.
Ivey has mostly been out of sight since the online poker room he represented, Full Tilt Poker, went under last summer. He has also been embroiled in a high profile nasty divorce battle.
Other high profile poker pros still remaining included Minh Nguyen (eighth, 992,000) and Lee Nelson (10th, 878,000).
On top was Daniel Idema, a Vancouver-based player who has won over a million dollars on the live poker circuit to date. Idema has two 1st place finishes where he won over $300,000 in both. These included the British Columbia Poker Championship Event #4 – No Limit Hold’em Championship in 2007 where he took home $330,070. This year, he won $376,642 at event #4 of the World Series of Poker No Limit Hold’em Championship. Idema also enjoyed a #2 at last year’s WSOP Event #29 Limit Hold’em Championship.
