Ivgi Joins the Loses a Chunk

Level 6 : 300/500, 500 ante

Kfir Ivgi raised to 2,000 and was called by Gary Miller and Timothee Zogo to see a flop of {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{8-Clubs}, on which the action checked to Miller. A bet of 2,800 followed and both opponents called.

The {6-Hearts} appeared on the turn and Ivgy was the only one to call a bet of 2,800. Ivgi then check-called a bet of 8,800 on the {a-Clubs} river and mucked when Miller turned over the {a-Spades}{j-Spades} for trips aces.

Right after the hand was over, Iaron Lightbourne re-joined the action on his second bullet.

Miller Busts Lawless

Level 6 : 300/500, 500 ante
Derek Lawless
Derek Lawless

Timothee Zogo checked the {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{7-Clubs} flop and Derek Lawless bet the button for 3,500. Gary Miller in the big blind moved all in and Zogo folded, while Lawless called it off.

Derek Lawless: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Gary Miller: {j-Hearts}{8-Spades}

The {7-Spades} turn and {3-Spades} river run out failed to improve last year's runner-up Lawless and he headed to the rail.

Ivgi Gets Some More

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

There were already more than 50,000 in the middle and the turn showed {10-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{3-Spades}{j-Spades}. Serkan Ersoy moved all in for 63,200 and Gary Miller used one time bank before making the call.
