Hwang Busted

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

We just caught Andy Hwang busting after getting it in with about as many draws as you could possible have. Hwang was heads up when the rest of his money got into the middle on a flop of .

Hwang:
Opponent:

Hwang's opponent had a set, but he could still win the hand with an eight, ten, king, or a club. Well he caught the on the turn, but his lead didn't hold for very long, as the hit the river, pairing the board and giving his opponent a full house.

Ivey In, Ivey Out

tayke2

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

Well we were hoping to be front row for a show today as Phil Ivey sat down at the table right in front of us, but it only took him a few hands to bust. Ivey got the rest of his stack in on a flop. Ivey had a world of draws with , and his opponent Jordan Zynda held for trip queens. Ivey was looking for a nine, ten, king, or the case ace to win the hand, but none of those came, as the board ran down and .

With no afternoon event today, it looks like this is the last of Ivey we will see for the day.
