After an early-position player limped in, Phil Ivey raised to 8,800. The cutoff, Jonathan Little, reraised to 24,000. The limper folded and then Ivey called all in.
Ivey: A-K
Little: Q-Q
The flop was a big help for Ivey, A-7-5. Little did not improve on the turn or river as it fell an eight, and then another seven.
Charles Keith Lehr has been in fair amount of control at his table over the entire tournament. Recently, Nenad Medic moved to Lehr's table and has been stirring things up.
The button raised and Medic called from the small blind as did Lehr from the big blind. The flop came and Medic led for 9,000. Lehr called and the other player folded.
The turn brought the and Medic led again, this time for 17,000. Lehr studied and studied. He even went back and forth with chips in his hand, first like he was going to call, and then like he was going to raise, over and over. After a while, Lehr decided to fold, but not without giving Medic one last stare.
Lehr was once happy and in pretty firm control of his table, but now seems to be a little disturbed by Medic's presence to his right.
With 70,000 already in the pot on the flop, Tony Licastro faced a 62,000 bet and went into the tank for so long the clock was called on him. As the seconds ticked down, Licastro elected to fold his face-up, and was left with 220,000 after the hand.
We caught up with this hand on the river, with the board reading . Vivek "psyduck" Rajkumar had already committed about 50,000 chips to the pot when his opponent moved all in for 110,000 on the river. After a lengthy stint in the tank, Rajkumar gave it up, folding face-up.
Fear not for Vivek, though. His stack is still quite healthy at 118,000.
Roy Winston raised to 5,500 from the button and Humberto Brenes called from the big blind. The flop was and both players checked. The turn was the . Brenes fired out 8,500.
"I'll show you one time but don't bluff me again," said Winston as he folded his face-up.
"Humberto never bluffs, ask my wife!" replied Brenes.
"You saying that is a bluff!" quipped Winston in return.
On the button Andy Bloch raised to 5,000 and Bill Edler bet the pot from the big blind. Bloch responded with a pot-sized reraise and Edler called for his last 28,000. Bloch turned over and Edler held the . The Q-9-6 board gave Edler some additional outs, but a pair of deuces fell on the turn and river and gave Bloch the pot. He's nearly tripled up since the last break and sits with 115,000.
