Phil Hellmuth: “Ivey won’t pass me in five years”
As I have mentioned before, Phil Ivey has acquired his eighth WSOP bracelet this year by winning the $3,000 H.O.R.S.E event, getting one more closer to Phil Hellmuth’s eleven.
Of course, many people started pondering about when Ivey would toss Hellmuth off his throne, but Phil Hellmuth cuts these short by saying that he finds it impossible for Ivey to overtake him in the next five years.
Hellmuth bases these projections on further assumptions, like "Ivey will surely slow down” and "I will win some more bracelets too” and that "Ivey will not be able to take the pressure”.
I would heavily argue with these, especially the last comment made by him, considering that Phil Ivey risks hundreds of thousands of dollars every day in high stakes cash games, and he will probably not feel too uncomfortable having to compete with Phil Hellmuth in a hunt for bracelets.
"Ivey won't pass me in five years. That's impossible. I shouldn't say it’s impossible... I don't think it'll happen. I think maybe in five years I'll be at 14 or 15, and maybe he's at 11 or 12. I don't know. I think that he won't pass me in five years." said Hellmuth on Jesse May's Poker Show.
In the past five years, Ivey has won four WSOP bracelets. This is the amount he needs to overtake Phil Hellmuth in the next five years, given that Hellmuth goes home without a bracelet from every WSOP in the next half decade.
