When the All Time Money List is adjusted for inflation, Phil Hellmuth passes Phil Ivey and takes first place. The biggest improver is Doyle Brunson.

The buy-in to the WSOP Main Event has been fixed at $10K for forty years. We've discussed before that this is a bit weird, that the Main Event has been degraded by inflation.

The inflation adjusted buy-in would be around $60K, and that consequently the $50K HORSE is much more representative of the original Main Event.

Inflation adjusted all time money list

If we adjust the total tournament winnings for the inflation that has occurred since the money was won (as TheHendonMob.com recently did for our enjoyment), obviously some things will change in the All Time Money List.

It's to be expected that the older the player is, or the older his or her career, the more he or she will 'profit' from this adjustment.

Old-timers go up in value

Accordingly we see when we compare the money lists (below) that Doyle Brunson takes a huge climb in the ranking, from 35 to 15. His wins from 40 years back obviously go up a lot in value when the inflation is taken into account.

The next biggest jumps (among the top players) are Johnny Chan and TJ Cloutier who climb eight and six places when their old winnings are adjusted for inflation.

With the same logic, recent winners go down in ranking. However, just a little bit. The vastly increased numbers of entrants remains in effect, and Jamie Gold's single win when he defeated a record field in WSOP 2006 still has him anchored in the top of the list.

Phil Hellmuth beats Phil Ivey for first place

Maybe the most noticeable change is that Phil Hellmuth passes Phil Ivey and takes first place. So I guess Hellmuth really is the best player in the world then.

Cheer up Phil, you're actually number one!

The long legal battle between poker superstar Phil Ivey and East Coast casino Borgata over nearly $10 million that the former won in baccarat may finally be coming to a close.

Phil Ivey Lawsuit Update

NJ Online Gamblingreported Wednesday morning that Ivey and Borgata had reached a settlement, citing a July 2 filing in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.

Per usual in these cases, terms were not disclosed.

Ivey initially won the money all the way back in 2012, playing a series of sessions with gambling partner Cheung Yin 'Kelly' Sununder agreed-upon conditions that enabled the pair to have a sizable edge on Borgata, unbeknownst to Borgata officials.

Borgata filed suit in 2014 and a legal war ensued for the next half decade.

According to gaming attorney and sometime PokerNews contributorMac VerStandig, the only real surprise is that the two sides took this long to come to terms.

'It's unsurprising to see litigation settled, especially at the appellate stage where both parties have had the opportunity to air respective grievances, and the cost of going forward may outweigh what either party stands to gain,' VerStandig said. 24 vip casino bonus codes. 'Cooler heads normally prevail sooner but it's not at all surprising to see it come to pass here.'

History of Legal Back-and-Forth

While the legal war started in 2014, it took until late 2016 for a big inflection point to finally occur. At that point, the judge presiding over the case sided with Borgata and ordered Ivey and Sun to return more than $10 million they'd won — the at-issue baccarat millions plus some craps winnings.

The case continued on appeal, and some sources reported Ivey was in danger of losing tens of millions to Borgata if things continued to go poorly in court.

Further damage against Ivey came when Borgata was granted clearance to seize his Nevada assets early last year. They followed through on that in high-profile fashion, garnishing Ivey's winnings when cashed in the $50,000 Poker Players Championship.

Ivey's Hidden Progress

However, while every turn was seeming to go against Ivey, he was all the while making some small gains in the background, like a poker player stealing enough blinds to stay afloat in a tournament.

'Borgata's case has always had serious vulnerabilities'

The appeals process was apparently going far better for Ivey than the initial case. Of central concern was the issue of whether he had cheated by marking cards. While nobody disputed that he hadn't marked the cards in the traditional sense, Borgata argued that turning the cards in different directions so Ivey and Sun could identify tiny imperfections in them — 'edge sorting' — constituted marking.

NJ Online Gambling reported that Ivey was likely a small favorite on appeal, a sentiment with which VerStandig agreed.

Conclusion Not Thrilling, Not Surprising

If Ivey were to win his appeal, the case would have continued on remand, going back to a lower court for reconsideration.

If Ivey were to win his appeal, the case would have continued on remand, going back to a lower court for reconsideration.

Phil Ivey Rant Why Would You Do That

Borgata would have been forced to return the $124,410 it had already seized from Ivey, and nothing would have been guaranteed going forward. Both sides would have also been on the hook to continue shelling out attorney fees, which have been mounting the entire time in the long-running case.

Furthermore, even if Borgata emerged a winner in court, it's uncertain whether anything but a Pyrrhic victory would have been achieved. A New Jersey search for Ivey's assets only turned up a 'zero-dollar' bank account, and Ivey has been keeping most of his poker-playing activities out of the U.S. and away from Borgata's reach.

NJ Online Gambling also pointed out that ultimately losing the case 'could potentially create a precedent that could harm parent company MGM Resorts International in future cases involving cheating or advantage casino play.'

Given that there appears to have been more downside than upside at this point for Borgata, the settlement seems unlikely to have been very costly for Ivey.

'Borgata's case has always had serious vulnerabilities and Borgata is certainly justified in getting whatever settlement it can get and not risking those vulnerabilities on a remand,' VerStandig said.
