"This is really great news. I am getting a second shot and I'm hoping we will win this time around,' je Ivey povedal za The Daily Mail. "It is not in my nature to cheat, which is why I was so bitterly disappointed by the judge's decision a year ago, even though he said I was a truthful witness."
Spomnimo, avgusta 2012 mu po maratonski igri različice baccarata (punto banco) niso izplačali 7.7 milijonov funtov dobitkov, ampak njega in Cheng Yin Sun (na sliki zgoraj) obtožili goljufanja s pomočjo tehnike ''edge-sorting''. Ivey naj bi po dveh nočeh igre uspel zaposlene prepričati, da so zaradi vraževerja igrali samo z enim - ''srečnim'' paketom kart.
Eden najboljših pokerašev vseh časov vztraja, da ''edge-sorting'' ni oblika goljufanja:
''When you are a professional gambler you are always looking for ways to gain an advantage over the casino. It's their job to prevent me from having any advantage. Sometimes I come out on top, sometimes they do. When you're accused of cheating it's a very big deal in gambling. I'm not allowed in certain casinos because of what happened. But my colleagues have been tremendously supportive - they know what is cheating and what is not.''
Po lanski odločitvi londonskega sodišča v Philovem primeru s Crockfords so se aprila 2014 za tožbo odločili tudi pri Borgata casinoju iz Atlantic City-ja. Tožijo ga za $9.6 milijonov dolarjev in trdijo, da je oktobra 2012 tudi njih oguljufal na enak način. V kolikor bo Philu uspelo zmagati na londonskem Court of Appeal, bi ta uspeh zaradi podobnega sodnega sistema v UK in ZDA zagotovo znatno vplival tudi na primer z Borgato.
