Phil Ivey's 2019 WSOP Winnings Garnished
According to Haley Hintze at Flushdraw, the Borgata took the unusual approach of contacting Caesars Entertainment in July while Ivey was playing in one of only two events he took part in at the WSOP, the $50,000 Poker Players Championship.
In a letter, attorneys for Marina District Development Co, LLC (the ownership group behind the Borgata) stated that they had an writ of execution that had been delivered to WSOP Tournament Director Jack Effel. In that writ, the Borgata attorneys stated that any assets due Mr. Ivey from Event #58 (and WSOP bracelet if he is the winner) would be seized by federal agents to execute previous judgments against Ivey.
