We came on this one on the flop -- . A short-stacked player in the big blind was already all in, up against three opponents, including Phil Ivey. The first two checked, and Ivey fired out 10,000 into the dry side pot. The first player pondered, asked Ivey if he held jack-ten, then folded, as did the second player.
The cards were then revealed, and Ivey showed . The big blind turned over eight-deuce. The turn was the and river , and Ivey took the pot. He's now up to 85,000.
The somehow incongruous call whenever a player loses the last of his or her chips. We just heard it again over at Table #60.

Unfortunately -- and ironically -- his opponent, Gary Holm, turned over . No ten came to save Antonio, and he's out in 101st place. Holm started the day with just over 15,000, but now has built his stack all of the way up to 103,000.
Gregg Merkow just knocked out both Steven van Zadelhoff and Pinkesh Mehta on one hand, when Merkow's pocket aces outlasted van Zedelhoff's pocket nines and Mehta's pocket tens.
J.J. Liu raised to 6,000 from the cutoff, and Carter King reraised to 15,500 from the small blind. Liu made the call. The flop came . King checked, Liu bet 10,000, and King folded.
Heading toward the break, King has 115,000, while Liu is up to 102,000.
