Schoo Jams On Ivey

From the button, Nathan Schoo raised to an unknown amount and then Phil Ivey three-bet to 70,000 from the small blind. Action folded back to Schoo and he reraised all in for 450,000. Ivey tanked for several minutes with approximately 620,000 behind. At one point he even said out loud, "This is a hard one. This one's a hard one." Eventually, Ivey folded and Schoo won the pot.

Alexander Venovski Eliminated in 11th Place (€66,500)

Noah Schwartz opened to 28,000 from middle position and Alexander Venovski reraised all in for 117,000 from the next seat. Action folded back to Schwartz and he called with {K-}{J-}. The at-risk Venovski held the {A-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}.

The flop gave Schwartz the nuts when it came out {Q-}{10-}{9-}. The turn and river blanked off and Venovski headed to the payout desk to collect his €66,500 payday.
