The Big Game Down Under

Over in the corner of the high-limit area, Melbourne's version of the "Big Game" has come together in the last few hours. A cast of characters including David Grey, Michael Tomeny, Kenny Tran and Amnon Filippi are playing a $400-$800 mixed game while chowing down on a veritable buffet of Chinese food that was just delivered to the table. A few feet over, Tony G is taking on Niki Jedlicka in a friendly little heads-up PLO match, with each of them sitting behind towers of aqua $1,000 chips. No chinese food for them, though.

Phil Ivey Busts Two with Quads

"You can't stop Phil Ivey, you can only hope to contain him..."
"You can't stop Phil Ivey, you can only hope to contain him..."
The flop was {5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}. Two players were all in and Phil Ivey had called.

Player 1: {A-Clubs}{2-Clubs}
Player 2: {K-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Ivey: {4-Hearts}{4-Clubs}

Ivey was behind with a set until the {4-Spades} spiked on the turn. Ivey got quads... again. He busted both players and continued his rush. Ivey's stack is around 170,000.

Billy the Croc's Bad Luck

The Croc's card cappers....
The Croc's card cappers....
On one of the last hands before the break, Billy the Croc lost most of his stack to David Ostrom. The Croc held pocket Kings, which got snapped off by Ostrom's {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}. All the money went into the pot pre-flop. Ostrom turned trips. The Croc slipped to 4,500, and he's steaming.
