Phil Ivey's role in the Full Tilt affair after 'Black Friday' is significant, as his boycott of the WSOP and subsequent lawsuit against Tiltware became the biggest news in June.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes.
