Ivo Tops Ivey

Omaha 8:

Jeff Duvall raised preflop, Phil Ivey called from the small blind and Ivo Donev called from the big blind. The flop was {K-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} and the action was checked around. The turn was the {7-Clubs}. Ivey bet and both Donev and Duvall called. The river was the {9-Clubs}. Ivey led again, Donev called and Duvall gave up his hand.

Donev showed {A-Spades} {8-Spades} {9-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} for kings and nines and scooped the pot.

Ivey Teeters

Stud:

Phil Ivey has one foot in the taxi and the other on thin ice after clashing with Sherkhan Farnood in a spot of stud.

Ivey = {Q-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{9-Spades}
Farnood = {K-Hearts}{7-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

I only caught the last couple of streets, but Ivey called a reraise of 24,000 on sixth street, before folding to a bet of 12,000 on the end.

Ivey is down to 14,500.

Phil Ivey Eliminated in 6th Place (£13,750)

Stud:

Ivey (X) (X) {10-Spades} {K-Hearts} {8-Clubs} {2-Clubs} (X)

Gregorich (X) (X) {10-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {6-Spades} {9-Spades} (X)

Mark Gregorich led at Phil Ivey the whole way, even betting dark on seventh street. As Ivey peeked at his final down card, he let out a sigh, shuffling his last few red 500-denomination chips and made the call, resigned to his fate.

Gregorich revealed {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} {A-Hearts} in the hole for queens up and Ivey mucked, his quest for a sixth WSOP bracelet at an end, at least for today.

Dead Man's Hand Keeps Gregorich Alive

Stud 8:

Jeff Duvall brought in for 6,000, Mark Gregorich made it 12,000 and Duvall called. Gregorich led out on fourth street before finding himself all in on the following street.

Duvall: {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{8-Hearts} with {4-Spades}{4-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}
Gregorich: {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{A-Hearts} with {2-Clubs}{A-Spades}{K-Clubs}

A cheer emanated from the rail as the ace hit, and with Duvall bricking the final street, Gregorich doubled through.

Hold'em:

Mark Gregorich opened for a raise, Sherkhan Farnood three-bet, and Gregorich called. The flop was {K-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {8-Clubs}. Gregorich led out and Farnood raised.

"Sorry, Mark," said Farnood as Gregorich mulled his decision. He elected to call.

The turn was the {4-Diamonds}. Gregorich checked, Farnood bet 12,000, Gregorich raised all in for his last 13,000, and Farnood called 1,000 more.

Farnood {5-Clubs} {5-Spades}

Gregorich {A-Diamonds} {J-Hearts}

The river was the {9-Spades} and Farnood won the pot, eliminating Gregorich. He'll take home £17,188 for his finish.

Duvall Catches Donev

Hold'em:

On the last hand before the dinner break, Ivo Donev raised to 12,000 from the button, Jeff Duvall made the call from the small blind, and the two players saw a {3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop. Duvall checked, Donev bet 6,000, and Duvall called. Both players checked the {9-Diamonds} turn before Duvall check-called 12,000 on the {9-Spades} river. After a moment's hesitation, Donev was asked to show his {7-Clubs}{6-Hearts}, whilst Duvall proudly revealed {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts} to lap up the pot.
