Full Tilt Poker�s Phil Ivey Continues Historic 2005 Run

Poker superstar Phil Ivey made poker history again on Tuesday 28th June, 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�s peers, including fellow Team Full Tilt member Howard Lederer, continue to be amazed by his accomplishments. �Phil Ivey proves once again that he is the best all around player in poker. He has now reached five major tournament final tables, even though he is playing a limited tournament schedule this year�, Lederer said.

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