button in SafariNegreanu and Ivey First to Bust Triton PLO
Dreams of a 12th WSOP bracelet are over for Phil Ivey...for now, after he became the first elimination from the $75,000 Triton Pot-Limit Omaha.
After Brazilian Yuri Dzivielevski opened from the cutoff, Ivey defended his button. Laszlo Bujtas then three-bet from the small blind and both opponents called.
Bujtas continued for 20,000 on the A♠J♣6♥ flop and both players called. The turn was the 8♣ and Bujtas bet the pot of 1070,000. Dzieleveski folded and Ivey called.
The river J♠ paired the board. Bujtas shoved for 57,000 and Ivey called for his last 42,000.
Bujtas tabled J♥J♦10♣10♥ for quads, beating the A♥K♥10♠8♦ of Ivey.
Following Ivey out the door was Daniel Negreanu, who fell at the hands of Lautaro Guerra.
Joao Simao had three-bet pre-flop, and four players saw a flop of 9♣5♠4♣. It folded to Guerra who bet the pot of 112,000 and Negreanu was the only caller for his last 89,000.
Daniel Negreanu: Q♦8♦5♥4♥
Lautaro Guerra: 9♦9♠7♣6♦
The 3♦3♣ runout improved Guerra to a full house and sent Negreanu to the rail. He would return and was the first player to re-enter in Event #2. The tournament clock currently shows 23 of 26 players remaining, with Dzielevski the only other elimination at this stage.
