Eight-Time WSOP Bracelet Winner Reportedly Took on $15.1M of Debt.

 

The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported Monday that details of the 2009 divorce settlement between Phil Ivey and his ex-wife Luciaetta Ivey are being debated in court.

Ivey, the former Full Tilt Poker pro, gave his wife millions and assumed the couple’s debt, according to an answer filed in December to a petition she filed in September. The answer said that the former couple had $15.1 million in “gambling and other debt.”

In the petition, Luciaetta takes issue with contributions her husband had made to a judge presiding over the divorce proceedings.

Luciaetta reportedly stopped receiving alimony from Phil in April 2011. Per the divorce agreement, if Phil stopped receiving payments from his relationship with Full Tilt Poker, the alimony would stop.

Lawyers for the poker star said that his ex-wife “sought to reopen the divorce case because she wasted all her money.”
