Filippi Takes One From Khan

Amnon Filippi raised preflop to an unknown amount before Hafiz Khan reraised from later position, making it 46,000 more. Filippi called and the flop came down {A-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {3-Diamonds}.

Both players checked the flop and then the {3-Clubs} hit the turn. Both players checked again and the {10-Spades} hit the river.

Filippi fired 56,000 and Khan called. Filippi tabled {A-Clubs} {10-Clubs} for top two pair and scooped the pot. He's up to 800,000 while Khan dropped to 390,000.

Flowers Uprooted

Randall Flowers - Out
Randall Flowers - Out
First in from the button, Randall "RandALLin" Flowers looked down at {10-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} and moved his final 95,000 chips into the middle. Oops. The small blind woke up with {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} and made the call to put Flowers in a bad way.

The flop brought a pair and a bit of hope for RandALLin as it fell {5-Spades} {9-Diamonds} {J-Spades}. The {3-Spades} blanked the turn, though, and the {5-Clubs} on the river was no help either. That's the end of the day for Flowers.

Nordberg Gets There

Yes Peter, you just spiked the king
Yes Peter, you just spiked the king
Michiel Brummelhuis three-bet to 70,000 from the button after Peter "Nordberg" Feldman raised to 25,000 from the cutoff seat. Feldman then moved all in for 281,000 total and Brummelhuis made the call.

Brummelhuis tabled two jacks -- {J-Clubs} {J-Hearts} -- and Feldman {K-Spades} {10-Clubs}.

Feldman found a king on the flop and a ten on the river as the board ran out {K-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {5-Spades} {2-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}.

Brummelhuis dropped to 405,000 after passing the chips over while Feldman is now nearing 600,000.

Phillips Busted

Carter Phillips no more
Carter Phillips no more
After Justin Bonomo opened from under the gun plus one, Carter Phillips shoved for 150,000 from the next seat. When action got back to Bonomo, he made the call with {K-?} {9-?}. Phillips held pocket sevens.

Bonomo got there by hitting a nine and sent Phillips to the rail. Bonomo's on 980,000 now.

Ivey Poisoned

A chip-less Ivey
A chip-less Ivey
We walked back over to Table Ivey to see the Great One sitting with a dejected frown on his face. Okay, that's not exactly unusual, but we also realized that he had just three little yellowbirds left in his stack, a total of 3,000 chips. We noticed Bill Gazes stacking up, so we asked him what happened.

Gazes laughed and turned away, not wanting to spill the beans. "Okay," he finally said. "But feel free to change this if you want." Here's the dirty:

Ivey was in middle position, and he opened the pot to 28,000. Gazes looked down at {K-?} {J-?} offsuit and moved all in for about 150,000 total. After a few lost pots, Ivey had Gazes just barely covered, and he made the call to put the tallest man in the world at risk of elimination. Ivey tabled {A-?} {Q-?}, looking to hold up and eliminate his dangerous foe. But alas, Gazes managed to pair his king to stay alive, doubling up over 300,000 and leaving Ivey with barely enough chips to shuffle.

Ivey's remaining 2,000 went into the next pot, and the small and big blind checked it down through a board running {Q-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} {A-Spades} {7-Spades} {5-Diamonds}. The big blind showed a pair with {J-Clubs} {6-Hearts}, and Ivey slid his cards into the muck. "Where do I get paid?" was the last thing he said as he picked his way through the spectators and out the door.

Suied's seen better table draws
Danny Suied stepped away from the table and asked if his table could get any more difficult with the recent additions to it. Not only it Matt Haugen at the table with a massive stack, but Huck Seed, Bill Gazes and now Phil Ivey are all located there.

Lieu Doubles Up

Liz Lieu fights to stay alive

From the hijack seat, Robert Mizrachi raised and then action folded over to Liz Lieu. She moved all in for 75,000 more than the raise and Mizrachi called. His orignal raise size was unknown.

Mizrachi tabled {A-Hearts} {2-Hearts} and Lieu held pocket tens. The board ran out {Q-Clubs} {J-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {8-Clubs} and Lieu was able to double back to around 200,000. Mizrachi dropped to 640,000.

Baker Takes Another; Now Over 900k

We caught up with the action on the flop of {A-Hearts} {6-Hearts} {4-Spades} between Wayne Bentley, Michiel Brummelhuis and Amanda Baker. Bentley was first to act and checked. There was about 100,000 chips in the pot and Brummelhuis fired 47,000 more of his own. Baker called while Bentley ducked out of the way.

The turn was the {K-Hearts} and Brummelhuis checked. Baker fired 85,000 and won the pot, moving over 900,000. Brummelhuis has 715,000 and Bentley has 175,000.
