The Defending Champ is Gone
Level 7
David "Bakes" Baker could not be stopped in this event last year as he plowed through a 178-player field (it was a $10,000 buy-in last year) to win $451,779 and his second gold bracelet. Unfortunately things went the total opposite for the defending champ here today.
Every time we checked in with Baker his stack only seemed to dwindle. The next thing we know, he was gone. We didn't catch his elimination hand, and when we asked Scott Clements if he knew what happened he indicated it was fairly uneventful.
"He ran bad and busted early," Clements said sympathetically. "He basically lost every hand he player, and it's not the easiest table."
Indeed, in addition to Clements, the table included Greg Mueller and Mark Gregorich. Oh, and Chad Brown sat down to replace the departed Bakes.
Meanwhile, Matt Glantz was also eliminated from the tournament.

Ivey Scoops with Straight
Level 7
Stud Hi-Lo
Phil Ivey was all in for his last 200 following a complete from David Williams, a raise from Allen Kessler and a call from Scott Seiver. Williams also called before betting fourth only to have Kessler raise. Seiver called, as did Williams before he bet out on fifth. Kessler raised and Seiver folded as Williams made the call. Both players checked sixth before Williams check-called a Kessler bet on seventh.
Seiver: 
/ 
(folded on fifth)
Ivey: / 
/
Williams: / 
/
Kessler: / 
/
Williams tabled his 
to win the high in the side pot while Kessler won the low in the side pot with his 
. However it was Ivey's 
for a straight and a better low that would see him scoop the main pot to stay alive.
