  Ivo Donev - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ivo Donev (born 25 December 1959) is an Austrian professional chess and poker player.
Ivo Donev is the author of the chess book "The most important ideas in the end game" in German language.
Donev won a bracelet in the $1,500 Limit Omaha event at the 2000 World Series of Poker (WSOP), where he took home $85,800 for his first place finish.

 $1,500 Entry Limit Omaha:"Let's Make a Deal... PLEASE!"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Donev, who had been quiet throughout play, except when trying to make a deal, and who had been playing, as Hansen had suggested, a bit on the tight side, suddenly transmogrified into an amalgam of Phil Hellmuth, Layne Flack, and Daniel Negreanu.
Ivo was alternating answers in English and German, using English for the simple ones and German for the more complex answers.
But the flashy gold trinket that Ivo was so casually willing to pawn off in the deal heads back to Austria as the property of a bright and charming man who knew exactly what he wanted, and who did exactly what he needed to do to get it.

In the end, Randy had the familiar face of Ivo running away from the table (a thing he always does after having gone all-in), but unfortunately for him the chess master didn't need to come back- other than to shake Randy's hand, and to tell his story to the TV-cameras.
Ivo had emptied his entire closet before heading towards this game: he had brought with him a bag, headphones, a cap, dark glasses, and two massage balls with a Yin & Yang sign on it, to be used when he needed to calm down, when he wanted to distract his opponent, or in pressure situations.
Ivo raised him all-in for about 25,000 more, getting up from the table immediately to walk around, with the massage balls rolling around in his hand, looking to his left, looking to his right, yeah, looking at his opponent even.

At the time Ivo Donev was the clear chip leader with $88,500 $30k more than Johan Storaakers.
In a span of the two hours it took to get down to the last ten and the Final Table, Ivo Donev imploded and was 10th in chips out of ten.
It was obvious that Donev was depressed by his change of fortune, as Ivo's body language couldn't have been clearer.

 Late Night Poker review for The Good Gambling Guide. Commentator Jesse May.
Ram bets small and gets raised by Ivo who is trying to steal the pot with his 10-8.
After Welch is pushed around in several hands that he was winning he finally had to put it in with A-5 and found Ivo with A-J. He got lucky though when the cards fell 3-2-K-8-4 and made him a straight.
Ivo now very short bet it all with a J-10 and Welch called the small amount with 2-3.

 Independent, The (London): POKER
Donev was up to his usual standard of ungentlemanly tricks (permitted in poker) of scowling, complaining, slamming down his chips and walking away from the table.
His intention was to represent either a heart flush or, at the very least, a pair of kings.
Donev looked dumbstruck, checked his cards again just to make sure his eyesight had not failed, called Blanco's bet and showed down A!-4!.

Ivo checked and so did I. The turn brought the 4 of clubs and when Ivo checked again it was time for me to bet.
There was something about the way Ivo called me that set off alarm bells, I wasn’t going to try to steal it again on the river...
Then Ivo put on one off his performances before betting 2,000 (about two thirds of the pot) and my heart sank.

With the money gone, Ivo Donev (we thought his name was Donev Ivo until he corrected us) went on a tidal wave rush to suck up every chip on the table.

 $1,500 Pot-Limit Hold'em: "Every 3-4 Has Its Day"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Donev couldn't have been feeling wonderful about his final table chances, though: he'd started Day Two as the chip leader, and by the time we'd whittled 17 players down to ten, Donev's stack was last and least among the survivors.
The river brought Chris another eight, though, and his two pair took the pot, as a stunned Storaakers tried to regroup after two brutal beats had moved him from the chip lead to a mere 15k in two hands.
Two hands later, Donev raised the maximum by shoving 10.5k in under the gun, only to see Vinas raise enough to put Donev all-in just as it looked like the early move might take the blinds.

And one can say a lot about Ivo, but his pre-match preparation is second to none.
When I talked to him this morning, he said he had actually looked in all the Internet archives on Angel's play and his tendencies, and had in fact analyzed all the match statistics from last year's event.
Ivo could not believe his luck, holding ace-four of hearts for the nut flush, and the strong Angel is out.

Ivo was very unlucky to lost this match.
Pascal had a hand that looked nice, Td 8d, but in fact he was drawing very thin - even more so because Ivo also had one of his diamonds.
As in his match against Ivo Donev, when he had caught a lucky break because he needed to make his flush with just one card to come, he was fairly lucky again here, because he may have been overplaying his fours a little in this hand.

Locals Kosta and Arthur were in there with AQ and AJ, Ivo Donev was all-in with AK, but these three short stacks all lost to a player who himself had never been able to accumulate many chips.
The tricky Ivo went out on this hand because a few moments before he had lost a huge pot to "Dutch Flying Fox" Marcel Lüske.
When on the flop Marcel came over the top of Ivo's 15,000 raise for 75,000 total, Ivo called him with J7 offsuit - only to see that Marcel had an even worse hand, T6 offsuit.

This was really bad timing for me, even though I only had average chips of 13,000 at this stage I knew in the next level with the blinds costing 1100 a round I could pick up a lot of chips.
That is the second time a table change has effected my tournament, I am certain if I had remained on the original table I could have played the last 2 hours with nothing better than T high and still made the second day through aggressive play against the blinds.
