Everybody Can Breathe Again

During the hand where Phil Ivey moved all in, the entire press box went absolutely silent. It was as if the whole poker community was collectively holding their breath. It was not so much that Ivey moved in over Shulman's raise, the anxiety was caused by Joe Cada going deep into the think tank. When he folded, Shulman could not have flicked his cards into the muck fast enough.

The press box began breathing again following the hand.
