Slade Fisher Eliminated in 18th Place (A$60,000)

Slade Fisher - 18th place
Slade Fisher - 18th place

Slade Fisher was short for a while and after his previous shove didn't get called he went for it again. This time he shoved for 124,000 under the gun +1 and Karim Jomeen made the call from the button. The other players folded giving us another all-in showdown.

Karim Jomeen{A-Clubs}{J-Hearts}
Slade Fisher{K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}

The flop brought out {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{8-Hearts} and Jomeen stayed in the lead. On the turn the {K-Spades} hit and Fisher seemed to be back in it. From the rail we heard, "It's coming, wait for it" and a nice "Bink!", as the {Q-Diamonds} got flipped over by the dealer. Jomeen hit his straight and ended Fisher's tournament run.

Joey Lawrence is the latest player to hit the rail, his demise coming when he ran his {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} into the {a-Spades}{a-Clubs} of Daniel Idema.

The board ran out {4-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Spades}, with Lawrence barely having a seat as he exites the door in 17th place for a A$60,000 score.

Ivey Rebounds

Phil Ivey
Phil Ivey

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
