As the clock rolls over the 10:00 PM mark here in Las Vegas, we're approaching three hours of heads-up play between these two players.

Ivey Doubles Now

Phil Ivey was just all in and called by John Monnette. Both players were drawing one card. Ivey held {6-?} {4-?} {3-?} {2-?} and Monnette held {J-?} {10-?} {8-?} {5-?} pre-draw. Ivey drew a {7-?} and locked up the hand, with Monnette drawing dead.

Ivey doubled to over 400,000 and is right back in it now.

Phil Ivey raised from the button and John Monnette moved all in. Ivey made the call. Monnette stood pat with a {10-?} {8-?} {6-?} {5-?} {4-?}. Ivey held a nine low and was drawing to one card. When Ivey flipped his draw card, he paired his nine and Monnette won the hand. Monnette now has 480,000 chips.

Some Action

John Monnette raised to 24,000, the minimum raise. Phil Ivey made the call. Ivey drew two and Monnette took one. Ivey was first to act and checked. Monnette checked and mucked after Phil showed him a ten-seven low.

Stagnant

No one wants to budge in this one. If Phil Ivey raises, John Monnette folds. If Monnette shoves in, Ivey mucks. It's been like this for a good amount of hands now and the two players are just trading blinds and antes.
