Black Poker Pro Eases on Down the Road to Success
Can you name a professional poker player who is black and not named Phil Ivey?
Probably not, and that's the problem.
The problem for professional poker, that is.
Pro poker, an activity with about as much diversity as a meeting of the Pat Boone Fan Club, desperately wants to appeal more to black America but it has a huge dearth of talent available for that particular role.
The only top poker pro who is black is Ivey, and he famously shuns most press attention--he has as much interest in growing the game as George W. Bush has in reading a book.
Phil Ivey Looks Stoned
He may have been perfectly sober for all we know, but a set of photos that popped up of poker pro Phil Ivey appear to have caught the player at an especially “bad” time.
“He looks either stoned or drunk,” observed Gambling911.com’s own Thomas Somach. Emphasis on the word “look” since we weren’t exactly there to administer a blood test.
The photos in question were taken during an event in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
To be fair, one does not necessarily associate Ivey and his squeaky clean image with drinking or recreational drugs.

UB.com poker pro Prahlad Friedman has called out fellow players Haxton and Bonomo for alleged “account sharing”.
Iassac Haxton and Justin Bonomo share and switch accounts often. Was playing random guy and looked up his stats. Identical to Hax. Haxton knows I don't want to play him head up. So scummy. Beware of their scummy tactics. They have been doing this to me for years. No more.
The online poker sites have taken pretty drastic actions against “account sharing”. Witness: Full Tilt Poker.
