Titans Collide

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
BOOM!
BOOM!

The clash of the titans just occurred over at the Team Full Tilt Poker table. The two involved? Juggernauts Phil Ivey and Patrik Antonius.

Antonius opened with a raise to 8,000 from early-middle position and Ivey called from the big blind. Pretty innocent, right? Well, after the flop came down {Q-Clubs}{9-Spades}{7-Spades}, the two trains smacked dead on traveling at 200 miles per hour!

After Ivey checked, Antonius bet out 15,000. Ivey didn't want to play for that much and made it 50,000 to go. Antonius thought and then moved all in for 197,500. Ivey quickly called him.

Ivey turned over a dream hand on that flop, {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}, for top pair, the nut kicker and the ace-high flush draw. Antonius also flopped what he thought was the dream with the {10-Spades}{8-Spades}, picking up an open-ended straight flush draw. Little did he know, he only had eight outs because of Ivey's hand.

When the chips went in a massive crowd gathered around the table and the hard rail was pressed inward as people tried to get a closer look at the action. The dealer burned and dealt the {J-Diamonds} on the turn to give Antonius his straight. His still wasn't out of the woods yet though as Ivey could hit a flush to retake the lead.

The river completed the board with the {7-Hearts} and missed Ivey. The crowd watched with jaws on the floor as Ivey sent over all but 13,000 of his chips to Antonius, who calmy turned his head to the right and leaned back to check on the tennis action going on. He finished watching the current point before turning back and stacking his chips. He's now well over 400,000 and looking stronger than ever.

Hand-for-Hand

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Since we're now down to the last seventy-nine players, the Tournament Director has announced that play will be hand-for-hand for the remainder of the level.

Currently we are unsure if we will push through to cracking the money. Only time will tell.

Shorties Here, There, Everywhere!

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Some more of these would be nice!
Some more of these would be nice!

Our PokerNews reporter took a quick walk around the tournament floor to see how many short stacks there were in the remaining 78.

So far we spotted thirteen players that possessed a less than 20-big blind stack, and with seven more eliminations needed until we hit the money, it definitely is a question of if they'll hold on or not.

Rodrigues Busts Ottobre with Set of Fives

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Michael Ottobre checked the flop of {Q-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades} to Manny Rodrigues. Rodrigues bet 10,000 and Ottobre raised to 28,000. Rodrigues made the call.

The turn brought the {J-Spades} and Ottobre moved all in for about 135,000. Rodrigues snapped him off with the {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds} for a set of fives. Ottobre held the {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}.

The river completed the board with the {7-Hearts} and Rodrigues won the pot to bust Ottobre and move to 365,000 in chips.

Drewe Dusted

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Martin Drewe opened to 6,000 from the button before Michael Ryan three-bet the small blind to 16,500.

Oliver Keefe made the call from the big, before Drewe pushed for 59,500. Both Ryan and Keefe made the call as the {9-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} flop was checked down.

The turn of the {8-Hearts} saw Ryan lead for 60,000 with Keefe making the call before the {2-Spades} was checked through.

Ryan tabled his {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} to receive folds from both players as Drewe hit the rail and Ryan moved to 460,000 in chips.
