Two Birds, One Stone as Ivey Sends Dvoress & "Loopoo" Out
Level 15
: Blinds 50,000/125,000, 125,000 ante
Phil Ivey raised to 250,000 from under the gun and Markkos Ladev called from the next seat. "Loopoo" was in the small blind and shoved 1,200,000, then Daniel Dvoress also moved all in from the big blind for 3,225,000. Ivey announced a call, and Ladev quickly folded.
"Loopoo": 5♠5♦
Daniel Dvoress: J♠J♥
Phil Ivey: A♠K♥
Ivey had the chance to send two players to the rail in one go, but it was the jacks of Dvoress that clung onto the lead through the 9♠7♦4♥ flop. A 7♥ on the turn left "Loopoo" with one shot at survival, and Ivey one chance to score the double elimination.
It was the latter of the two options that played out as Ivey found a K♦ on the river, which meant both "Loopoo" and Dvoress hit the rail.
Ivey is the new chip leader!
