Phil Ivey Poker Face Commercial
- Ivey was an integral part of Full Tilt Poker's marketing campaigns - who can forget his commercial when he stumbles upon his wife/girlfriend at home with another man, all while maintaining his poker face? Things have changed dramatically for Phil Ivey since that time.
- Poker pro Phil Ivey is appearing in a commercial for the new Chrysler 300 for a second time, this time taking on a prominent role. The commercial — called “Best in Class” — shows scenes of Ivey and the car being promoted in what appears to be Las Vegas. There are tight shots of Ivey.
Following his brief appearance in a commercial for the Chrysler 300 last month, Phil Ivey is now the star of his own spot for the “Best-in-Class”. Everything Poker. Phil Ivey, one of the most successful poker players in the world, has come out publicly to announce his affiliation with the online poker room Poker King. Phil Ivey starred in a smashing 30-second commercial for the 2015 Chrysler 300. It was a cameo appearance. Phil was first seen from behind, walking from a casino to his flashy Chrysler car.
Phil Ivey proved he was still one of the best poker players on earth, making a deep run in the 2019 World Series of Poker $50,000 buy-in Poker Players Championship event. But perhaps the legally embattled high-stakes gambler still has a bit of rust to shake off.
Ivey was seemingly in cruise control mode after the field made the money, and found himself in a three-way pot of stud eight-or-better with 11 players left in the tournament.
While at the featured table, PokerGo cameras caught Ivey holding the best and only low while facing off against John Esposito and Talal Shakerchi.

Talal Shakerchi: (K K) 2 5 K8 (Q)
John Esposito: (2 10) 9 9 A 6 (5)
Shakerchi was looking to fill up with his trip kings, but wound up making a king-high heart flush. That wasn’t good enough to top Esposito’s backdoor ace-high spade flush, and neither player made qualifying eight low.
Ivey’s pair of jacks were no good, but his 7-4-3-2-A low was plenty good enough to take half of the large main pot. Unfortunately for him, the ten-time WSOP bracelet winner either thought he had missed his low draw, or he believed the table was playing stud high.

Shakerchi was eliminated in 11th place, earning $72,078. Ivey went on to finish in eighth place, banking $124,410. The eventual winner of the 74-player tournament was Phil Hui, who took home his second career bracelet and the $1,099,311 first-place prize.
This isn’t the first time that Ivey has folded the winner at the WSOP. Back in 2009 when he was making his run to the main event final table, Ivey accidentally folded what would have been a winning spade flush.
Ivey, who has more than $26 million in career tournament earnings, still sits in a tie for second-place all-time with Doyle Brunson and Johnny Chan behind Phil Hellmuth with 14 bracelets. This was his fourth cash this summer. Last year, he also cashed four times, finishing ninth in the Poker Players Championship.

A marketing campaign by Chrysler that highlights Americans who have achieved success in various industries includes poker pro Phil Ivey in a new TV commercial in which the 10-time WSOP champ is featured.
In the new ad, Ivey is seen from behind while walking - presumably to his car outside of a casino - before the camera focuses on a 2015 Chrysler 300. “There’s nothing wrong with being flashy,' says narrator Peter Dinklage, who starred on HBO's 'Game of Thrones.'

The action then centers on a face shot of Ivey as he continues walking, as Dinklage ends his narrative by stating, 'so long as you’ve done the work to back it up.” The camera reverts back to the flashy Chrysler making its way down the road and we see one more quick shot of Ivey behind the wheel.

This marks the second Chrysler commercial in which poker's best all-around player has appeared. Last month, Ivey was in a 60-second spot that included other successful Americans such as Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian and assistant coach Becky Hammon of the San Antonio Spurs, whose paths to success can best be described as less than conventional.
Ivey, of course, is 3rd on the all-time live tournament money list with over $23 million in winnings. The Hendon Mob lists Phil as being no. 1 in the rankings based on popularity.

The Chrysler 300 marketing scheme showcasing Ivey and the others is set to run through June, so we may see the poker and edge-sorting pro in another ad before the campaign runs its course.
