Phil Ivey, eight-time World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winner and one-time World Poker Tour (WPT) champion, has confirmed his participation in the latest leg of the APT scheduled to happen from November 6 to 14, 2010 at the Hard Rock Poker Lounge in the City of Dreams in Macau.

As of 2010, the 34-year-old American has total live tournament winnings of roughly US$13.5M, more than US$5M of which came from cashes at the WSOP.

Fondly called in the poker scene as the “Tiger Woods of Poker,” he began his career in Atlantic City, New Jersey and made his name as a high-stakes player before plying his trade on the live tournament circuit in 2000.

One of the most feared cash game players in the world, both live and online, Ivey’s appearance in the APT Macau 2010 is sure to create a buzz in the Asian poker scene as local professionals and amateurs alike look forward to rubbing elbows with one of the most recognizable faces in poker.
