Just in case you missed it, Phil Ivey wins his eighth bracelet in the WSOP 2010 Event #37 $3k HORSE event, making him level pegging in the bracelet race with Seidel, and kicking his live tournament winnings to over $13,000,000.  Sick!

Having waded through a 478 strong field, only Bill Chen stood between Ivey and that coveted 8th bracelet.  Playing Razz, Ivey made a 65 wheel and took the event down.

The $329,840 payout for first is nothing to sniff at but no doubt Ivey’s made substantial gains on bracelet prop bets.  Here’s the video of the winning hand.
