Is it just me or is Phil Ivey the fucking nuts. He is just unbelievable.
Absolutely amazing. Of course everybody already knows this but I felt it had to be said after checking the current chip count and seeing he is in second.

I would really love it if they would have recorded his hole cards for the whole tourney. That would be amazing to watch.
As far as Matusow goes. I don't think he's a bad guy per say. I don't know him or anything but I think he see's his buddies on TV and they all have some kind of nickname or a gimmick or schtick and I just think Mike is trying to be the bad boy of poker by being so mouthy and arragont. Kind of like that kid that thinks nobody likes him so he is just an asshole to everybody. He may just be an ass hole and I'm wrong but when I see him I get the feeling he is trying to act like the class clown because he thinks nobody likes him or he doesn't fit in, in other words he wants attention.
Anyways, Raymer had his own thread so I figured I would get one up for Phil Ivey.
