      I can't tell if Phil realized what he did after he mucked it...? I was trippin out when I saw it but i guess he felt he was beat at every street then forgot what he had after the dude yelled out Ace like it was something good. That was like a psychological brain f**k.

    • Day 8 of the main event. Ivey was bleeding chips and tired. That guy yelled out ace cause he was hoping it was the best hand. Ivey memorizes his cards so he just forgot he had the spade. pretty much what happened. Ivey is human. He is only the best cause he knows when to keep playing when he is on and when to stop playing when he is off. You notice during the broadcast Ivey tells Shulman he thinks that Schulman will make the final table but that he feels that he is "suspect at best" to make it. He was being honest. He was playing in the big game that was super juicy vs some french business man the whole time during that week with way more than 8 million at stake.

    • Long hours of play might just do that to the best of us...and Phil is damn close to being the best.
