[Removed:113] Eliminated

[user75032]

It was a case of bad timing for [Removed:113]. He was dealt the red queens under the gun at the same time that Jordan Morgan was dealt {K-Diamonds}

in the big blind. The predictable pre-flop raising war ensued until [Removed:115] was all in. He did not improve, {6-Clubs}

, and has retired to the rail.

Morgan is up to 1,220,000.

Phil Ivey had about 115,000 chips in his stack due to that last loss to Travis Klein when he limped under the gun for 12,000 of it. Michael Wood was in the next seat and limped as well before action folded all the way to Elio Fox in the big blind. Fox checked his option.

The flop came down {A-Hearts}

and Fox checked. Ivey bet 30,000, leaving himself with about 75,000. Woods folded and Fox made the call.

The turn was the {10-Diamonds}

and Fox checked. Ivey pushed his last stacks of yellows into the middle and Fox announced a call. Ivey tabled {K-Hearts}

for a pair and a flush draw while Fox held {A-Clubs}

for top pair of aces.

The river was the {8-Clubs}

and not what Ivey was looking for. He stood up from the table as Fox was pushed the pot, eliminated from the tournament.

Ivey vs. Rousso vs. Bax

Mickey Doft

Phil Ivey raised to 30,000 in the hijack and was called by Vanessa Rousso in the cutoff and Cliff Josephy in the big blind.

The flop came down {8-Diamonds}

. They each checked and the {7-Spades}

hit the turn. "JohnnyBax" checked and Ivey bet 40,000. Rousso called and Bax raised it up, making it 125,000 to play. Ivey thought it over for a minute and gave it up, as did Rousso.

Bax showed {A-Diamonds}

as he took in the pot.

Ryan Bambrick Eliminated

[user75032]

On the heels of Vanessa Selbst playing a few big pots with Dale Jamison, she walked right into another one. As she traded snipes with Jamison, action folded to Ryan Bambrick in the small blind. He limped in, an action which drew a raise to 32,000 from Selbst. Bambrick then limp-re-raised to 92,000.

"I guess I'll just play a big pot with everyone," said Selbst as she tossed in a call. Bambrick continued as aggressor by betting 76,000 on a flop of {8-Clubs}

. The bet was just less than half the pot. Selbst called.

The turn came {3-Clubs}

. Again Bambrick bet just less than half the pot, this time 150,000. Selbst called again to the {7-Diamonds}

river. Bambrick, with about 500,000 behind, bet 220,000. Selbst moved all in, and Bambrick quickly called.

"I'm sorry," said Selbst. "I was floating you on the turn." She turned up the nuts, {9-Spades}

, a ten-high straight. Bambrick saw the hand, muttered "so sick," and mucked his cards. He's eliminated.

Selbst picks up 800,000 chips to move back to more than 2.5 million.

Selbst Tanks

Mickey Doft

Dale Jamison eyes Vanessa Selbst's chips.

Ryan Bambrick opened to 31,000 in the cutoff and Vanessa Selbst called on the button. Dale Jamison popped it to 121,000 in the small blind. Action folded around to Selbst and she called.

The flop came down {7-Diamonds}

and Jamison bet 150,000. Selbst thought for a few moments before making the call. The turn brought the {K-Hearts}

and Jamison kept up the heat, betting 350,000. Selbst spent a good four minutes in the tank, eventually laying it down.

Selbst is down to 1.75 million while Jamison is up to 1.52 million.

Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend

[user140525]

Dale Jamison opened to 25,000 under-the-gun, and Alistar Melville called one seat over. Vanessa Selbst also came along in the big blind.

Flop: {A-Diamonds}

- Selbst bet 53,000, and Jamison folded. As soon as Melville made the call, Vanessa asked how much he had behind. The answer was around 300,000.

Turn: {Q-Diamonds}

- Selbst fired again, this time 65,000. Melville tank-called.

River: {5-Diamonds}

- The fourth diamond on the board earned a quick check from both, and Selbst turned over {10-Diamonds}

for the second nut flush. Without the {J-Diamonds}

in his hand, Melville could only muck unhappily. The rich get richer...

Ivey Hooks a Double Up

[user140525]

James Casement opened with a raise, and Andrew Ferguson called. Then Ivey moved all in behind for his last 135,000. Casement re-shoved, and Ferguson gave it up. It was a race for Sir Ivey's life with his {J-Clubs}

pitted against Casement's {A-Clubs}

. The flop was a safe {7-Hearts}

, and the

on the turn was a welcome sight for Ivey fans. The {5-Hearts}

on the river filled his boat just for fun, and Ivey doubled up to just over 300,000.

A Little Slower Now

[user75032]

In thirty minutes of play since returning from dinner, not a single player has been eliminated. More cautious play is the rule right now. Consider, for example, a hand played between Derek Raymond and Elio Fox. Raymond opened for 28,000, then called Fox's re-raise to 72,000. Both players checked the {4-Hearts}

flop. On the turn, Raymond checked and then folded to a bet of 100,000 from Fox.
