It's already been a pretty good start for the PokerRoad family at this year's World Series of Poker.  Not only did All Strategy co-host Justin Bonomo make it all the way to fifth place in Event #2, the 40th Annual No Limit Hold 'em for a $413,166 cash, but yesterday PokerRoad blogger Steve Sung did one better by taking down Event #4 the "Stimulus Special" for a WSOP bracelet and over $700,000. 

That would be a pretty good week for any website one would think, but it looks like Phil Ivey, star of PokerRoad's The Life Of Ivey, wants to get in on the action as well, as he currently sits, as of this writing (6/4 3:25 p.m. PST), in first place with only four remaining in Event #8, the pro heavy, No Limit Deuce-To-Seven Draw.

Time to root for our man Phil.  Sign in to the PokerRoad Nation, and then open a second window for PokerNews to catch the live updates as they happen, and prepare to be wowed by one of the undisputed best living poker players on the planet.
