Mike Watson opened the action from early position with a 1,500 raise and got called by Phil Ivey in the hijack and [Removed:283] in the big blind.
The 
flop was checked by all three as well as was the 
turn.
Mike Watson fired 11,200 after the 
came on the river and both Ivey and [Removed:288] called. Watson opened 
for a straight making his opponents muck their hands.
We noticed the seat formerly occupied by Alec Torelli was empty, and a quick check with Jason Mercier confirmed that he had been eliminated. According to Mercier, Torelli got his stack all in preflop with 
only to run into the 
of Ignat "0Human0" Liviu. Torelli couldn't catch and was sent to the rail, thus far declining to rebuy.
PokerNews recently featured Liviu in their "Online Chat" series, where the pro talks about his start in poker, how he progressed, bankroll management and more. If you want to learn more about Liviu, check out the interview here.
