Ivey Folds to Short Shove

From under the gun, Phil Ivey raised to 24,000. Action folded around to Ioannis Makris in the big blind and he moved all in for 69,000. Ivey grinned and then folded his hand, even despite having over a million in chips at his disposal. Makris moved to back over 100,000 by a little bit.

Fisher Finds a Double

From the cutoff seat, Slade Fisher raised all in for 119,000. In the next seat on the button, Ioannis Makris reraised all in for 189,000 and everyone else folded. Makris tabled the {J-Hearts}{J-Spades} and Fisher the {A-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}.

The flop came down {K-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} and Makris slapped his hands together, stood up and cheered, but then he realized Fisher still had a straight draw. The turn was the {Q-Spades} and gave Fisher his straight, which drained all emotion from Makris. The river failed to pair the board with the {A-Spades} and Fisher doubled up.

Makris was left with about 70,000 in chips.

Check-Raising, Barrett

Bjorn Li opened the action from under the gun and Minh Nguyen flat-called the button. Josh Barrett also threw in the extra chips and the flop was dealt.

Flop: {3-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{a-Spades}

Barrett took a moment before checking and then Li led for 32,000. It didn't take long for Nguyen to get out of the way and it was back on Barrett, who began readying his chips. Barrett took 87,000 out of his stack and placed it on the felt in front of him.

When Li folded he said, "nice bluff, yeah?"

David Steicke - 26th Place
David Steicke - 26th Place

The 2006 champion of this event Lee Nelson raised to 22,000 out of the cutoff seat before David Steicke three-bet to 60,000 from the button. In the small blind, Patrick Healy reraised all in for more than 1.2 million. He had both the other players covered and Nelson tank-folded before Steicke called to put himself, and his 350,000-chip stack, at risk.

Steicke: {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}
Healy: {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}

The flop, turn and river ran out {9-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} and Healy's aces held to eliminate Steicke in 26th place.

We picked up the action on the {K-Spades}{J-Hearts}{5-Spades}{9-Spades} board with Phil Ivey pitted against Daniel Idema. Ivey had checked and Idema bet 55,000. Ivey made the call.

The dealer landed the {6-Hearts} on the river and Ivey checked again. Idema bet 80,000 and Ivey studied him up and down. Then, he called.

Idema tabled the {K-Diamonds}{J-Spades} for two pair and Ivey mucked his hand.
