Break Dance

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

That last level saw six more players fall by the wayside, and our remaining 16 are off for their second break of the day. We'll be back in 15 minutes with the goal of playing down to 12 players.

Big Triple For Speidel

Oliver Speidel
Oliver Speidel

Patrick Healy opened the action to 27,000 from under the gun and Phil Ivey made the call on his direct left. The play was then on Oliver Speidel on the button and he shoved his stack in. It was 190,000 more to Healy and Ivey and they both opted to flat call.

Ivey and Healy checked down a {k-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{6-Spades}{9-Diamonds} board and both those players sent their cards into the muck as Speidel tabled his {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}. Speidel was one of the shortest stacks in the room and has now taken a much welcomed triple up.

Ivey Gets It Back

Phil Ivey
Phil Ivey

Action between Phil Ivey and Oliver Speidel was checked through on the flop and turn with about 240,000 chips in the pot on the {5-Spades}{4-Spades}{2-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{K-Clubs} board. On the river, Speidel bet 110,000 and Ivey raised to 290,000. Speidel tank-called, but mucked when Ivey tabled the {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for a flush.

With that pot, Ivey moved back over 1.5 million and Speidel dropped to under 400,000.

Levy Granted Another Chance

From the small blind Daniel Idema raised and Grant Levy decided it was his chance to go all-in. From the big blind Levy shoved for 169,000 and Idema called right away.

Grant Levy{K-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}
Daniel Idema{K-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

The board ran out {Q-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{8-Clubs} and Levy caught his lucky break. The former APPT winner is still in the hunt for his second big title as he is back up to around 30 big blinds.

Fallin'

Karim Jomeen

Phil Ivey bet 60,000 on the {K-Spades}{7-Clubs}{4-Clubs} flop as he was first to act. Lee Nelson was next up and gave it some thought before folding. Action then fell on Karim Jomeen and he took his time before raising to 185,000. Ivey now went into the tank and after about a minute, raised all in. Jomeen quickly called to put himself at risk for 509,000 total on the flop.

Jomeen: {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}
Ivey: {4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}

As you can see, Ivey was on the bottom end of this set-over-set confrontation and needed to spike the case four to win the pot and knock out Jomeen.

The turn brought the {J-Clubs} and the river the {5-Hearts}. Neither were the {4-Spades} and Ivey set over the chips to double up Jomeen.

Ivey and Nelson Again

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

From under the gun, Phil Ivey raised to 28,000 and Lee Nelson called from the button. The flop came down {K-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} and Ivey bet 35,000 for his continuation bet. Nelson called.

The turn was the {K-Spades} and double-paired the board. Ivey checked, then folded to Nelson's 70,000-chip bet.

Ivey Rebounds

We didn't walk up until the turn of a {A-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} board, but we were in time to see Phil Ivey check-call a bet of 100,000 from Karim Jomeen there on fourth street. On fifth, the {Q-Hearts} paired the board, and Ivey took the betting lead with 200,000 of his own chips. Jomeen couldn't call, sliding his cards into the muck and slipping back to about 585,000.

Ivey's back up to 1.4 million now and back above the chip average.
