Phil Ivey Eliminated After Losing Back-to-Back Hands

In the first hand, the player under-the-gun raised, Phil Ivey and two other players called. The flop came {4-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}, the UTG bet and all called. The turn came {9-Clubs}, the UTG bet and Ivey called. The river came {2-Clubs}, the UTG bet and Ivey folded. After the hand Ivey only had 225 left.

On the second hand Ivey pushed all-in under-the-gun for 225, middle position player raised, next player called and Justin Blumenthal called from the button. The flop came {10-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{9-Hearts}, middle position bet, next player folded and Blumenthal called. The river came {4-Hearts}, Blumenthal bet and middle position called. The middle position player showed {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}, but Blumenthal turned over {6-Spades}{6-Clubs} for quads, eliminated Ivey and took the pot.
