We haven't had much from Phil Ivey today, but that's mostly because it's just been a raise-and-take-it kind of day for Ivey. No one's really wanted to mess with him. Here's an example of that.
Action folded to Wendy Monosky and she raised to 3,000. Play then moved over to Ivey in the small blind. He reraised to 8,000. After the big blind folded, Monosky tossed in her cards and Ivey won the pot.
Last year's champion, Victorino Torres, just check-raised an opponent's bet of 5,200 on the flop to put the player all in. The player had roughly 35,000 behind and folded, allowing the reigning champ to chip up a bit more.
APPT President Danny McDonough has just announced to the tournament room that he has been made aware that two players are intentionally marking cards and he will be disqualifying them from the tournament if it happens again.
