Few poker players have captured the attention of the poker universe quite like Phil Ivey. There have been plenty of champions of the game who crushed it at the felt, but none who built up the mystique of Ivey, who remains to this day arguably the most magnetic player in poker despite results that no longer match his days of utmost dominance.
A day after the anniversary of Ivey's induction into the Poker Hall of Fame, PokerNews examines the legacy of his WSOP success.
Prior to 2000, Ivey didn't have any recorded WSOP cashes.
The 23-year-old didn't waste any time establishing himself as one of the top up-and-coming players. That year, after already making one final table and finishing fifth, Ivey secured his first bracelet. He beat none other than fellow Hall of Famer Amarillo Slim Preston heads up to win Event #14: $2,500 Pot-Limit Omaha, a rebuy event, for his first bracelet and $195,000. Three other Hall of Famers — Chris Bjorin, Phil Hellmuth and David "Devilfish" Ulliott — also competed at that final table, so shipping it was about more than just getting his first taste of gold. Ivey showed he could beat the best in the business.
Two years after that, though, would be when Ivey really showed he was the present and future of the game.

The World Series of Poker on GGNetwork continues today with Event #37: $1,050 Bounty Pot Limit Omaha.
This is the second Omaha event on the schedule. The first was won by Finnish legend Juha Helppi. That drew 328 runners for a $5,000 price point. Event #37 currently has about 125 players registered with start time still about 40 minutes away and three hours of late registration on tap.
As far as logistics go, this will be a one-day tournament with six-handed tables, a staple of PLO on GGNetwork. Players start with 25,000 in their stacks at 125/250 and progress through 15-minute levels, with a break at five till the hour, every hour. Each player may reenter up to twice should he or she run dry on chips.
Perhaps of most import, play will be in the progressive knockout (PKO) format. Half of each buy-in goes to the bounty pool, and half of that bounty is awarded to the eliminating player, with the other half being added to that player's bounty. Therefore, some pretty hefty sums are available even for players who don't make the top few prize slots, should they score enough eliminations of high-value bounties.
Virtual cards begin flying at 1 p.m. EDT. Players registered for the event already include Felipe Ramos, Pete Chen, Dario Alioto, George Wolff, Joao Vieira, Martin Zamani, Manig Loeser and Chris Hunichen. Surely, many more well-known players will take their cracks at the bracelet as well, so stay tuned to PokerNews to follow the updates.
