Ivey that everybody knows, ranked as the best player in the world has declared on June 19th, 2010 he plans to win 30 bracelets during his career as a poker pro.
It is a goal achievable for the Tiger Woods, taking into account his age and his current ranking. But Hellmuth who considers himself as the biggest star of all time has announced that what Ivey said is impossible.
He even said Ivey will not beat him in the next 5 years. Note that both players didn't have yet the opportunity to face each other on gaming tables but only in the TV show High Stakes Poker. And most of the time, it was Ivey who was the winner and Hellmuth went back ruined
