While Ivey appeared to be cooked after his ongoing appeals in 2017 came up dry against both Crockfords Casino and Borgata — he and gambling partner Cheung Yin 'Kelly' Sun took both for a combined nearly $20 million using 'edge sorting' in baccarat and punto banco — the fight has now spilled over well into 2018.

The casino has loaded up its legal war machine and put Ivey squarely in the crosshairs. Whether Ivey will escape further damage and finally claim a legal victory or finally take a knockout blow remains to be seen, and PokerNews will continue to keep an eye out for further developments in this marathon story.
