Poker games all ways come up with many variations and unexpected results. The games are not only played by strategies and winning hands but also by sheer presence of mind. I play online poker game for a long and took part in many online tournaments even at the WSOP. In the world tournament it is really a tough challenge. It is not only a play of cards but a mind game every moment. Phil Ivey is such a player who despite of playing a good hand lost at the poker event just because of luck.

Still his poker hand is famous for one of the best played strategies. In 2003 Main Event he was playing against Chris Money maker with a full house of couple of 9s from spade and hearts and also six and queen of spades. Chris had just a combination of A from hearts and diamond queen. Just a turn out of A from spades resulted in the win for Money maker at the WSOP tournament. Had the game gone the other way Phil would have succeeded. This was just a instance as he already holds record of owner’s stake in Full Tilt Poker and has bagged in a prize of $2.5 million.

Such poker games are sensible to witness as you never know what happens next. It turns out to be a game of luck sometimes as you never know the card waiting for you in the river flow but great challenges are always appreciable.
