Haynie Doubles Through Ivey

Mike "The Mouth" Matusow raised to 1,625 from early position before Derric Haynie moved all in from middle position for 7,400 total. Phil Ivey flatted on the button and then everyone else folded, including the original raiser Matusow.

Haynie stood pat and this sent Ivey into the tank. He removed his headphones and dropped them on the felt behind his chips as he stared at his opponent. Haynie sat motionless. Eventually, Ivey elected to stand pat behind.

Haynie slid {8-?} {6-?} {5-?} {3-?} {2-?} across the felt and Ivey mucked his hand, mentioning that he held a nine-seven low. Haynie is now over 16,000 chips.

Freddy Deeb
Freddy Deeb
Freddy Deeb just got moved to Erick Lindgren and John Juanda's table. Deeb said, "If I'm still here at the end of the night, let's vote on whether or not we just want to come back tomorrow and play it out." Juanda agreed, as did some others at the table.

"But if I'm not here, I won't worry about it." Deeb finished.

The entire table laughed and all stated that they agree on taking the vote. Deeb went on to say, "Some people are here for the bracelet, some people are here for the money."

Juanda added, "Some people are here for the points."
