Phil Ivey Wins Big at Aria Casino's Freeroll Tournament
Phil Ivey won a freeroll tournament with a prize pool of $1 million at the Aria casino. The poker room at Aria casino is named after Phil Ivey. Phil Ivey expressed his gratitude and honor for having the poker room named after him.
Phil Ivey mentioned that he never expected a poker room to be named after him, just as he never expected poker to be televised so extensively. He said he hopes the stakes in the new poker room will be higher than the previous year.
Phil Ivey won a heads-up match against Larry Litton for an additional $250,000. The bounty for eliminating Phil Ivey was $100,000, which was won by David "Chino" Riem.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
