He became the first with 10 non-hold'em bracelets by winning the $1,500 Eight Game Mix event at the 2014 World Series of Poker. Ivey also holds the record for most bracelets won in games featuring more than one poker game (known as mixed game poker) with 5. Prior to his 2013 WSOP APAC win, he won bracelets in S.H.O.E.
