More Ivey Effect
A little while back, we featured an article called The Ivey Effect discussing how Phil Ivey influences the poker world like no one else. Well, just a moment ago there was another instance of that influence in effect.
One of the players at his table, Willie Tann, said to Ivey, "Hey Phil, when you're done can I have your hat?"
Ivey moved his headphones from his ears and perked his head up.
"When you're finished, can I have your hat?" Tann asked a second time.
Ivey looked confused for a second and then shrugged his shoulders and nodded.
"It's for a friend of mine, he'd really love it," said Tann.
Ivey smiled looking as though he was wondering why anyone would want his used Full Tilt Poker hat. Either way, he said it'd be fine. Tann then turned towards the rail behind him and yelled over to his friend that he was able to lock up the hat for him. The railbird looked simply amazed and was astonished at what was to come. Ivey smiled.
"He's one of your biggest fans," Tann said to Ivey.
