Ivey Obliges

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

We have kind of a large rail here as hand-for-hand play progresses. Just now Phil Ivey's table — located right along one edge of the playing area — finished up before the others, and as they waited for the next hand a fan called to Ivey asking for an autograph.

Ivey looked up and nodded, then leaned back in his seat anticipating the fan to hand him something on which to sign. "My shirt," she said, explaining she wanted him to sign that.

He stepped over, took a pen, and signed it for her near her shoulder. "I'm never going to wash this shirt," she said as he sat back down.

Now he's posing for a picture with another fan. Meanwhile, it sounds like at least two players have busted during this hand, so we're either just one elimination away or perhaps the bubble has burst.
