Phil Ivey is one of WSOP November Nine 2009.
The final table of the 2009 Main Event has been decided.
All nine are now millionaires and in November they meet again in Las Vegas to settle who gets the grand prize of $8.5 million dolars and the Main Event glory.
Phil Ivey — Poker’s most charismatic star and perhaps the greatest player in the world, Ivey survived a rough Day 8 to make November’s Day 9. “You have no idea how bad I want this,” said Ivey, who would rather skip the 12-week wait and finish the tournament immediately. “Today was a bad day, but I made it. I would say the wait is a drawback because I’m kind of in a groove playing with all of these guys. I’m going to forget some of the things I saw from them and will have to replay some of the hands in my mind. I would love to play through right now.”

Ivey, last of the high-profile players.
I think he would, as a full-bred pro, had gained from playing the final table straight away. He is more used to being in the spotlight and wouldnt exactly get shellchocked of making the final table.
