The Supreme Court of the United Kingdom granted Phil Ivey permission to appeal the order made by the Court of Appeal in November 2016 regarding a dispute with Crockfords Casino in London. The court made its announcement Feb. 28, according to a release from a consulting firm.
Ivey won £7.8 million there playing Punto Banco, a form of baccarat, in August 2012.
"Last November’s Court of Appeal ruling made no sense to me," Ivey said in a release. "The original trial judge ruled that I was not dishonest and none of the three Appeal Court judges disagreed and yet the decision went against me by a majority of 2 to 1.
