Turner Survives...Just!

Jon Turner was all in on fifth street in a Stud-8 hand against Carlos Mortensen. The boards fell:

Turner: ({A-Spades}{2-Clubs}) {6-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} ({6-Diamonds})
Mortensen: ({5-Hearts}{3-Clubs}) {6-Hearts}{3-Spades}{4-Spades}{4-Hearts} ({7-Spades})

Mortensen makes a big hand with a seven-high straight and seven-six-five low but Turner sneaks in for half with a seven-six-four low to stay alive!

Boyd Rivers Chop

Dutch Boyd
Dutch Boyd
Dutch Boyd, from the small blind, and Carlos Mortensen in the big blind got into a preflop raising war that saw the action capped.

They took a flop of {K-Spades}{6-Spades}{4-Clubs} and after a bet, raise and reraise, Boyd was all in for his last chips.

Boyd: {A-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}
Mortensen: {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}{3-Hearts}{7-Spades}

Mortensen had a near lock on the high, and needed to fade Boyd's outs for the low. The turn bricked the {10-Clubs}, however the river was the {7-Diamonds}, giving Boyd the nut low much to his relief as he collects half and stays alive!

Turner: {A-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}
Boyd: {A-Spades}{4-Clubs}{4-Spades}{K-Clubs}

Boyd held the lead and maintained it to scoop when the river was dealt the {6-Spades}. Turner busts in 5th place after a great tournament. He'll collect $45,327 for his efforts.

Ivey Pounds Mortensen

Carlos Mortensen completed before Phil Ivey raised. Mortensen called and then again on fourth street. On fifth street Ivey led but Mortensen raised. Ivey called and then led on sixth and the river before Mortensen finally gave up the chase and folded.

Mortensen: (X-X-X) {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{10-Spades}{3-Spades}
Ivey: (X-X-X) {J-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}

Ivey is now out to 1.25 million with Mortensen down to 450,000 chips.

Ivey's Super-Stack

Phil Ivey now has more than 50% of chips in play
Phil Ivey now has more than 50% of chips in play
Dutch Boyd raised preflop from the button and Phil Ivey defended his big blind. They checked a flop of {K-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} before a repeat {K-Spades} hit the turn.

Ivey fired out a bet and Boyd made the call. The river was the {9-Hearts} and again Ivey bet with Boyd calling.

Ivey tabled {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{7-Hearts} and the jacks were good as Boyd sighed and mucked. Boyd is now one mistake from elimination with Ivey up to a staggering 1.48 million - in excess of 50% of the chips in play.

And then there were three...!

Ivey Takes Down Another Big Pot

Carlos Mortensen completed and Phil Ivey made the call. On fourth Mortensen fired, with Ivey taking the lead on fifth and sixth, before Mortensen put in a raise. Ivey deliberated for some time before calling and checking the river in the dark. Mortensen checked behind and the cards were revealed:

Ivey: ({6-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{4-Spades}) {5-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{5-Spades}
Mortensen: (X-X-X) {8-Spades}{6-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}

Mortensen cringed when he saw Ivey's cards as he couldn't better two pair and mucked. Ivey is now up to 1.61 million with Mortensen down to 560,000.

Mortensen Gets One Back

Phil Ivey raised from the button before Carlos Mortensen reraised in the big blind. Ivey called and they saw a flop of {7-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{4-Hearts}. Mortensen fired out a bet, which Ivey called.

The turn was the {5-Hearts} and again Mortensen fired at the pot with Ivey making the call. The river landed the {8-Hearts} and Mortensen fired a third barrel with Ivey calling him down.

Mortensen showed {A-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{K-Spades} for a straight and seven-low as Ivey sat there motionless for several seconds, perhaps stunned that he'd actually lost a pot, before mucking.
