Yesterday Phil Ivey seemed to win pots at will while watching coverage of the Masters. Today his seat has no view of the Masters coverage and his stack is trending downwards. He fired on a flop against Scott Seiver; Seiver checked and called. Seiver then checked and called another 38,000 on the turn. That prompted Ivey to shut down after Seiver checked the river. Seiver's made a pair of queens to win the pot.
"Queen-eight of spades, kicking ass and taking names," remarked Todd Terry.

Devious little monkey
Jonathan Aguiar opened to 10,000, and Todd Terry reraised his button to 25,000. Aguiar slowly made the call. The flop came , and Aguiar checked. Terry bet 30,000, and Aguiar took a minute to think. Eventually he gave it up, and Terry flipped over for absolutely nothing.
"Gonna get run over by the Todd Terry all day," Aguiar grumbled.
"Some people have bigger egos than common sense," Scott Seiver opined.

Sometimes there's a debate over which table is the Table of Death. But today there isn't a shred of doubt. The day began with the room's most feared player, Phil Ivey, sharing the felt with formidable opponents Jonathan Aguiar, Dennis Phillips, Todd Terry, and new PokerStars Team Pro Canada member Marcello Del Grosso. Then in the table-balancing process, Scott Seiver and Lars Bonding were added to the mix. Wow.
