Richard Bai raised to 3,000 on the button and Phil Ivey defended his big blind.
The flop came down and Ivey led out for 4,000. Bai popped it to 9,000, Ivey called and the turn fell. Both checked to see the river, which Ivey checked. Bai bet 14,000 and Ivey snap called.
Bai tabled for ace high, while Ivey tabled for a flush to win the pot.
Shortly thereafter Jacobo Fernandez was eliminated from the table, by the hands of Ivey we suspect, to further increase Ivey's stack.
Matthew Smith raised to 4,200 from under the gun and it folded around to Stephen Chidwick in the big blind. He potted and Smith called all in for 14,100 total.
Chidwick:
Smith:
The board ran out , giving Chidwick an open-ended straight draw on the flop but nothing further after that. Smith's kings held and he secured a double to around 30,000 in chips. Chidwick, on the other hand, has dropped to 25,000.
Brandon Cantu raised to 4,500 in the hijack, Daniel Negreanu called in the cutoff, Amnon Filippi called on the button and the flop came down .
All three players checked, the hit the turn and Cantu checked. Negreanu bet 8,000, sending Filippi into the tank for a bit before he folded. Cantu folded as well, giving Negreanu the pot.
We arrived at the table on fifth street to find Greg Raymer call all in against Alex Rocha. Raymer showed a pair of queens but was ultimately behind Rocha's pair of kings. Neither player improved on the subsequent streets and Raymer was sent to the rail early in the money. He autographed one of his signature fossils for Rocha and took his leave from the tournament area. Rocha now has about 114,000.
