Ivey has been playing poorly in 2026. From February 2025 (second place at the Aussie Millions) to June 2026, he hasn't had a major win. This is the longest and most prolonged losing streak of his recent career. Nothing wrong with that. Daniel Negreanu has also had long losing streaks.
Phil Ivy is one of the best players of all time and probably still one of the best players out there Even though we don't see him anymore very much as he just probably limits himself to high stakes cash. It's kind of sad what he's done to ruin his reputation though with all the allegations of cheating and that in casinos. I actually ran into Phil Ivy this year and I won't say much more than that other than he is not a very friendly human being. I get you don't wanna be bothered and you don't want the fame to be a distraction in your life but………………………………………………………………………………………………………… I'll leave it there
