Ivey Crippled as Golbuff Smacks Miracle Double

Phil Ivey and Samuel Golbuff
Phil Ivey and Samuel Golbuff

No-Limit Hold'em

Action folded to Phil Ivey in the cutoff seat and he raised to 20,000. On the button, Samuel Golbuff reraised all in for 159,000. The blinds folded and Ivey quickly called.

Ivey turned over the {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades} and was way ahead of the {6-Hearts}{2-Spades} for Golbuff.

The flop came down an interesting {5-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts}, giving Golbuff a pair and a straight draw, but keeping Ivey in front.

The {K-Spades} landed on the turn and Ivey was still in the lead, but a miracle {4-Spades} on the river gave Golbuff a six-high straight and doubled him up.

As the tournament director counted down that stack of Golbuff, all he could do was laugh at what had just happened while Ivey just stared blankly with his famous "Ivey face" and mouth dropped open as if to say, "Was that even real?"

Ivey was cripped and down to just 11,000 in chips.

No-Limit Hold'em

After folding for three hands after getting crippled, Phil Ivey stuck his last 7,000 in from under the gun. Action folded to Michael Gathy on the button and he called. Joep van den Bijgaart called from the small blind and Erik Cajelais checked from the big blind.

The three active players in the hand checked down the board as it ran out {A-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{6-Spades}{9-Spades}{7-Spades} before getting to a showdown.

"I looked at an ace," announced Ivey as the players started turning over their hands.

Gathy showed the {K-Clubs}{7-Hearts} for a pair of sevens, van den Bijgaart the {4-Spades}{2-Hearts}. Cajelais showed the {7-Clubs}{6-Hearts} for two pair and then Ivey had the {A-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}. Ivey did have an ace, but the three that came with it wasn't what he needed to stay alive and he was eliminated in eighth place.

Ivey was quickly out the door and we'll surely see him soon in another event at the World Series of Poker.

Golbuff Crippled

Limit Hold'em

Action began with Joep van den Bijgaart, who made it two bets from early position. It was folded around to Samuel Golbuff in the cutoff, who made it three bets. Not to be outdone, Salman Behbehani then made it four-bets from the big blind. Bijgaart gave his hand up, but Golbuff made the call.

The flop came {4-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} and Behbehani led out. Golbuff raised and Behbehani flatted to see the turn, which brought a {8-Clubs}. This time, Behbehani went on the defensive and check-called a bet from Golbuff.

The {A-Diamonds} landed on the river and both players checked. Behbehani tabled {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts} for a rivered pair of aces and a frustrated Golfbuff revealed the {Q-Spades} and mucked his hand.

Golbuff is down to just 90,000 following the hand.

Golbuff Doubles

Limit Hold'em

Michael Gathy open-raised from the cutoff and Samuel Golbuff three-bet from the big blind. Gathy flatted and the flop brought {9-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{4-Spades}.

A very short-stacked Golbuff led out and and Gathy raised, which was enough to put Golbuff all in. Golbuff called to put himself at risk and hands were revealed.

Golbuff: {K-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}
Gathy: {J-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}

Golbuff was ahead with king-high but would need to fade a lot of outs to survive. The {10-Spades} turn and {3-Clubs} river were safe for Golbuff and he doubled up to 190,000.
