You probably saw me on TV then..
I heard I made it on a few times in the background.. There was an amazing hand in that game when it was heads up, that I will never, ever forget. One of the best hands I've ever seen, and I was IN THE ROOM! Just feet away from the table.. Amazing.
Phil Ivey HU with Paul Jackson from England. I had been hanging around Paul Jackson and his English posse all week, since the day we arrived. We went to the bar in our hotel, and saw a bunch of guys playing poker.. We asked to join, and they said we could play the next game.. Turns out they were all registered in the tournament, 10 of them. Several people didn't play in our bar game, including Paul Jackson, he was just drinking around the table. The tournament was a $25,000 buyin too.. :P
So we played, and I WON.. I think we all played for $30 euros or something, so I took home a few hundred euros.. The guy I beat heads up had taken 12th place in the WSOP Main Event final table that year!
So anyways yeah, here is the hand I'm talking about.. Must see.
In the room we had no idea what cards they had of course, so we figured they both had huge hands.. It was really the turning point or more like last dagger that hand. Paul Jackson came over after the tournament to his buddies that I was with, and we asked him what he had.. Then he smiled and said he asked Ivey what he had that hand, and he told him..... Anyways watch the video, dont' wanna spoil it.
