We have just realised that Phil Ivey is currently registered in today's tournament.
Still playing in Event 13 - $2,500 No Limit Hold'em however, Ivey sits with roughly 80,000 in chips and is one of the players still in action.
With a good chance at capturing his second bracelet for the series, and seventh overall, it is no surprise that he is letting his current 3,300-chips slide over this side of the Rio!
Three players saw fifth street, but it would be Shawn Sheikhan that took the lead firing out 300 on both fifth and sixth street and was only called by Doug Lee.
Lee bet out on seventh with Sheikhan making the call with both player's boards reading as follows:
Lee: (X-X) / / (X)
Sheikhan: (X-X) / / (X)
Lee tabled his which prompted a fold from Sheikhan. Lee's superior two-pair earned him the pot as he stacked up to 7,200, while Sheikhan slips to 2,200 in chips.
Just in front of the blogging desk we quickly jumped up to find three players capping every street.
Katja Thater would be all in on fifth, as was Stacey Vong, with Mark Seif having them both covered.
The cards were tabled as follows:
Thater: /
Vong: /
Seif: /
With Thater drawing dead she quickly packed up her bag to exit the tournament, while Seif squeezed out his card hoping to find the remaining three in the deck.
Unfortunately for Seif, he would only manage to find the as Vong near tripled up to 12,500 as Seif slips to 3,100.
