Ivey with the Four-Bet

Level 2 : 75/150, 25 ante

Phil Ivey was under the gun and raised the action to 450. The player on the button called only to have Brian Hastings make it 2,150 to go. Ivey came over the top with a four-bet to 6,000 and the button folded. Hastings called and drew one card on the draw. Ivey stood pat.

Hastings checked after the draw and Ivey knuckled the table back, rolling over {8-}{6-}{5-}{4-}{2-}. Hastings mucked his hand and Ivey was pushed the pot. He's now sitting around 40,300 in chips.

Seiver Takes a Hit

Level 2 : 75/150, 25 ante

Matthew Ashton raised to 500 from the cutoff and Scott Seiver made it 1,700 to go from the button. The small blind four-bet the action to 4,275 and it folded back to Ashton who folded as well. Seiver tossed out a call.

Seiver's opponent stood pat and Seiver thought for about 20 seconds before opting for one new card. Action checked to Seiver and he tapped the table back. Seiver's opponent fanned {9x]{7-}{5-}{4-}{3-}, eliciting an eye roll from Seiver before the flung his hand into the muck. With this hit, Seiver is down to about 19,000 in chips.

Luneau Makes Ninety-Eight

Level 2 : 75/150, 25 ante

Stuart Rutter opened the action by popping it up to 450 from the cutoff. Alexandre Luneau called from the button and Naoya Kihara tagged along from the big blind. All three players took one card at the draw and action checked all of the way back to Luneau.

Luneau flicked out a bet of 1,000 and Kihara called. Rutter threw his hand away and Luneau fanned {9-}{8-}{7-}{6-}{3-}. Kihara mucked his hand and Luneau was pushed the pot.

Luneau is off to a solid start today, sitting on about 47,500 in chips a little more than halfway through the second level.

"I'll Take Your Head Off!"

Level 2 : 75/150, 25 ante
Reunited and it feels so good
Reunited and it feels so good

That quote by Jeff Lisandro from the 2006 World Series of Poker Main Event remains famous in the poker world to this day. Late in the Main Event that year, Lisandro and Prahlad Friedman were seated together at the ESPN feature table. During their time together, an incident arose regarding a missing ante before the flop. Friedman insisted that Lisandro did not put his ante in while Lisandro vehemently defended himself. The tension rose and the argument became more heated until Friedman stepped away from the table and talked to a floor supervisor privately.

Lisandro stood up from the table and continued to argue his point, until he spoke those famous words, "I'll take your head off!"

It's been right around eight years since that infamous moment, and today we find these two seated right next to each other on Table #366. Both players are currently under the starting stack with Friedman sitting on 26,500 and Lisandro on 24,000. As the day progresses, we'll see keep you posted on the status of these two players.
