However, one thing stands out Moon. While other players in the same position would have done my best to catch up in the professionalism, he painted his streak from the start. As a member of the November Nine was the only one who did not accept a sponsorship from any room referring to was not interested at all tied to having to play a tournament after the other indefinitely.

The end of history known to all. Moon Phil Ivey eliminated but succumbed to the young Joe Every, who was crowned champion .

Darvin A year later returned to the WSOP and says that almost without playing poker because of his work, the same it was before their adventure in the WSOP. Darvin said the award did not change his life or that of his wife . Both kept their jobs, live in the same house and just spent the proceeds.

“I’ve always been poor, I can be poor after that. I’m still working because my family raised me well, “said Moon. However, Darvin decided to maintain your lifestyle and your business as well by their employees : “It is people who have worked with me for over 25 years.
