If there is a poker god, then he or she will have Moon Vs. Ivey HU for the championship. No matter which of them wins, it will be the greatest thing in the history of the world. |

If moon wins, next years prize pool will be the largest ever.
If Ivey wins, it'll be the smallest |

| I think Phil's got a great asset given the fact that he does not care about the money. If he can start bullying the other small stacks and can double then he could go on a tear. |

Completely disagree.
He may not care about the money but he certainly cares about the bracelet. More so than any of the others IMO |

Ivey won't play scared regardless because he's Phil Ivey. Duh.
Should be a very interesting final table. Also, Ivey is ridiculously sick. |

Exactly why he has an advantage. Whereas others might sit back and try to move up the money ladder, Ivey probably doesn't care nearly as much about the difference between winning $1 million and $5 million. |

Definitely more than Jeff Shulman... It was reported that he said that he didn't care about the bracelet and would throw it away if he won... He doesn't like how the WSOP handles the media rights. I can understand his reasoning, but if it's true, that's pretty disrespectful of the series, imo... |

As cool as it is to see Ivey there-he's actually pretty dull to watch. Last years table was top notch. |

I know google is my friend, but I'm lazy. Who is Darvin Moon?
Regardless, Phil Ivey is the most recognizable poker pro in the world. This will get more additional coverage than a bunch of randoms, which is very good for the game. People either want the underdog or the very best to win. |

He's just a good ol' boy who plays at the 'merican Legion and lays down kings preflop. A nice guy who plays tight and got the best run of cards of his life. The opposite of the stereotypical 22 year old laggy internet player that thinks he's the greatest player of all time. |
