Apparently the $111,111 One Drop High Roller was a little too good for Ivey to pass up and he took a seat in the ultra-tough competition.
WSOP Executive Director Ty Stewart immediately walked up to Ivey and ribbed him about being absent for most of the summer.
“You’re finally here!” joked Stewart. “I thought you’d wait until at least the Main Event.”
Ivey just smirked and went back to the game.
Polk, Colman, Koon Show Up Early
The $111k One Drop event has already attracted some of the biggest high rollers in poker through the first couple levels of play including Phil Hellmuth, Dan Colman, Jason Koon, Doug Polk and Brian Hastings.
