Take On Phil Ivey in Death Match Poker

Full Tilt Poker has launched a new series of games in which poker pro Phil Ivey will have a permanently reserved seat, and will battle head to head against other online players to turn $5,000 into $1 million without busting. This is must see news for railbirds!

Full Tilt Poker has launched a new series of poker games that boasts both the highest available stakes online and the most challenging poker game play around. Phil Ivey, five time champion of the World Series of Poker and exclusive member of the Full Tilt team, will be partaking in three new online poker games and go head to head against some of the industry’s best undiscovered talents.

The new games and stakes are as follows:
(1) A 500/$1000 No Limit Hold'em table named Ivey Death Match
(2) A $500/$1000 Pot Limit Omaha table called Ivey Thunderdome
(3) And a $2000/4000 HORSE table called Ivey Glue Factory

The sudden excitement has taken hold of many players, both Full Tilt loyals and not, and even caused some to sit around and wait by the tables for Ivey to show. Despite his permanently reserved seat, Ivey has not yet played at these tables, yet many online poker room forums indicate that most players believe he is waiting for an exact moment.

And this may well be true. Only a day before the release of the Ivey series, Ivey himself announced that he would be pursuing a task similar to that of Chris Ferguson, the “Jesus Challenge”. Ivey expressed that he will use these new high stake games to turn $5,000 into $1 million, without busting.

As one of the most recognized international poker pros, and one of the only live players to have successfully transitioned to live play, we have no doubt that he is more than capable of pulling it off. So if you plan on getting in on these high stakes, watch out – Ivey is heading your way!
