Timex Lays It Down for Ivey

Level 18 : 60,000/120,000, 10,000 ante

Mike McDonald opened with a raise and Phil Ivey called to see a flop of {j-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}, which they both checked. When the dealer burned and turned a {2-}, Ivey bet 325,000, McDonald called, and the {7-Diamonds} completed the board on the river. This time Ivey fired out 500,000, and it did the trick as McDonald folded his hand.

Daniel Negreanu Eliminated in 4th Place (AU$1,250,000)

Level 18 : 60,000/120,000, 10,000 ante
Daniel Negreanu - 4th Place
Daniel Negreanu - 4th Place

From the small blind, Daniel Negreanu raised all in. Phil Ivey made the quick call from the big blind with the {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}, and he was dominating the {A-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} for the at-risk Negreanu.

The flop vaulted Negreanu into the lead when the {10-Hearts}{6-Spades}{2-Spades} fell. The turn did give Ivey some more outs to now come from behind when the {J-Spades} fell, and then the {K-Clubs} completed the board on the river. Ivey finished with a better pair — a pair of kings — and Negreanu was eliminated in fourth place for AU$1,250,000. With Negreanu being in this event for three bullets worth a total of AU$750,000, he profited AU$500,000.

Big Pot Send to Haxton

Level 18 : 60,000/120,000, 10,000 ante

Mike McDonald opened for 325,000 from the small blind and Isaac Haxton defended from the big. When the flop came down {3-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{10-Spades}, McDonald bet 300,000, Haxton raised to 725,000, and McDonald took his time before making the call.

After the dealer burned and turned the {4-Spades}, McDonald checked, and Haxton moved all in. McDonald folded and Haxton was pushed the pot.

Haxton Snaps Off a Double with Two Aces

Level 18 : 60,000/120,000, 10,000 ante

On the first hand back from the break, action folded to PokerStars Team Online member Isaac Haxton in the small blind. He limped in, and then Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu raised all in from the big blind. Haxton snap-called and tabled the {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}. Negreanu showed the {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}.

The flop, turn, and river ran out {K-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{7-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}, and Haxton doubled up.

Small One for McDonald

Level 17 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

The pair checked on the turn ({4-Spades}) and the river ({k-Spades}), and McDonald won with {9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}.

Haxton Doubles Through Ivey

Level 17 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

Isaac Haxton moved all in from the button for 895,000, Daniel Negreanu folded the small blind, and after thinking for a bit, Phil Ivey called from the big.

Haxton: {a-Clubs}{2-Clubs}
Ivey: {k-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}

Haxton was ahead, but Ivey was drawing to two live cards. The {j-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} flop was interesting as it gave both players a little something. Haxton picked up a flush draw, while Ivey found an open-ended straight draw. The {3-Hearts} turn was of no consequence, and the {8-Clubs} river actually improved Haxton to a flush to give him the double.
