Phil Ivey cracked the $40 million lifetime live tournament mark on Sunday at Triton Poker London with his umpteenth major poker win, this one being a $60,000 buy-in no-limit hold'em turbo event.
The widely considered greatest poker player of all-time captured his fourth Triton win while taking home $1,007,000 for outlasting a field of 61 entrants. Following a ho-hum World Series of Poker (WSOP), by his lofty standards, the Poker Hall of Famer is winding down his summer with a huge win across the pond, along with two other cashes, including a runner-up finish to Espen Jorstad in the $20,000 Mystery Bounty last week.
Poker wizzes Nick Petrangelo, Sam Greenwood, and Aleksejs Ponakovs were all among those who reached the final table. None of them, however, could defeat Ivey, who earned his 11th career seven-figure score in a live tournament.
After Santosh Suvarna busted in 10th place ($91,500), the final table was set, and it was Ivey holding the chip lead. However, he only had 41 big blinds, which meant everyone would have to play short stack poker to perfection to win.
