Where is Dolly?

I love Phil Ivey. I like to watch him playing on T.V. I can't get over the Deer-caught-in-the-headlights look about him. I would love to see him take this down.

I think it should be an interesting final table - there seems to be a wide mix of playing styles and this looks like being one of the more experienced final tables, by the pundits reckoning in recent years.

Ivey has had a brilliant run in this WSOP and if he remains on this form could be formidable in the final table if he gets a chance to get more chips. He has been pretty unlucky in the last 27 - he had lost many times when he was either a bigish favorite - jj v q6 on either the flop or turn as well as losing quite often when he was 50/50. With better fortune he would be arround the 25k mark. True he lost quite a bit on a hand jj v qq but generally he has seemed to play well only to have a good deal of misfortune.
Moons tight solid style is different from the mega-aggressive approach that others have. Although less experienced if the cards run his way he could go deep in the final table and if he can up his game for when it gets to 3-5 players left this could be really interesting.

November seems like a long wait though - September/ October would be better in my opinion for the final.
