Ivey Eliminates Kunze; One Match to Go

A short-stacked Alisha Kunze moved the remainder of her chips into the middle holding a pocket pair of sevens and found herself in a coin-flip situation against Phil Ivey who made the call with {J-Spades}{9-Diamonds}.

The board filled out {A-Spades}{10-Spades}{9-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} giving Ivey two pair and one of the two remaining spots in the round of 32, setting up a second round match-up between Ivey and Johnny Chan.
