How are you smart enough to think of this great scheme. But not smart enough not to take the house for millions at a time. They could literally have just went to a different casino once a week. Took home 20K and lived the lifestyle. Stupid
Probably bets more on "is the next person walkin through that door a man or a woman?"Phil Ivey is a professional poker player and gambler worth millions. He probably bets $20K on coin flips

Because it wouldn't have been worth it for him otherwise. He's a millionaire and the greatest poker player of all time, if he wanted to make $20k he would stayed in Vegas. He's not going there for pennies on the dollar. It's something he only had one shot at doing as they were going to figure it out eventually (this isn't the first time he's done it).Moderation moderation moderation

They’re not hiding anything. Gambler’s live off their reputation, and these casino’s are going after his. He’s being very transparent, illustrating that he had nothing to hide. The casino asked no questions about his requests, they just went along with every one of them. Real high-rollers make these agreements with casino’s to try and get any advantage they can, and the casino knows it.How these haters even figure out what phil was up to?
High level gamblers have seconds (or 3rds, 4ths, an entire team) all the time.If it was just Ivey "reading" the cards, I wouldn't have an issue. But to bring in a 2nd person to help is pure![]()

20k at a time? You obviously don’t know who Phil Ivey is. Man is one of the most prolific professional gamblers in the world. He lives BEYOND the lifestyle already. 20K 
You don't get to set the rules that specifically (demanding certain brands of cards etc) unless you're bringing millions to the tableModeration moderation moderation

Well, he is a gamblerI guess 'worth it' is subjective. Winning to spend tons in legal fees only to give it all back doesn't seem 'worth it' to me.

I think if he hit these casinos for 'only' 1-2 million he could have gotten away with it. Borgata would have probably wrote it off as a cost of doing business. Losing 10M in a day is really gonna raise eyebrows, even to a high roller like Ivey
