Recent PHENIX measurements of elliptic flow ({nu}2) in Au+Au collisions at {radical}(s{sub NN}) = 200 GeV are reviewed and discussed. We present the result of {phi} meson {nu}2 in 20 - 60 % centrality bin. The result is consistent with hydrodynamical model prediction for pT < 2 GeV/c. For pT > 2 GeV/c, {nu}2 of {phi} meson is more consistent with that of mesons than proton. Electron {nu}2 from semi-leptonic decays of heavy flavors is measured. For pT < 2 GeV/c, the result is consistent with the scenario for complete thermalization of c-quark. The {nu}2 result for pT > 2 GeV/c is qualitatively explained by the possible b-quark contribution. We also report the observation of {nu}2 for direct photon. Extracted {nu}2 of direct photon is consistent with zero in measured pT range.
