Full Tilt Poker's Ivey Dominates

Phil Ivey made poker history again last Tuesday, besting a field of 133 of poker's toughest players to win the $5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha event at the 2005 World Series of Poker. Ivey took home $635,603 and his fifth World Series of Poker bracelet for his victory in the 27th event of poker's biggest series of tournaments.

This performance marks the fifth final table in two months for Ivey, an accomplishment no other poker professional has achieved. The WSOP victory puts Ivey's collective tournament winnings over the past two months at more than $1.4 million.

Ivey, a 28-year-old online poker professional from Atlantic City, New Jersey, took home his fifth World Series of Poker bracelet after winning his first bracelet at age 23 in 2000.

Ivey's victory continued the dominance of online poker site Full Tilt Poker in this year's World Series of Poker in Las Vegas. Fellow Full Tilt Poker representative Allen Cunningham took fourth place after winning his own bracelet in the first open event of the World Series.
