Ivey's Triple Double

In an amazing comeback, Phil Ivey was down to his last 8,000 in chips a few minutes ago but now sits with close to 100,000 in chips to still have a shot of making this final table.

First Ivey tripled up, making a full house against Daniel Negreanu and Vassilios Lazarou. This put him with a little over 20,000.

He then found himself all in against Jim Paluszek with Paluszek showing ({4-Clubs}{7-Hearts}) {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{5-?}{5-?}. Ivey flipped ({6-Spades}{6-Hearts}) {6-Diamonds}{10-Spades}-X-{K-Spades} for rolled-up sixes as the two players went to the river.

Paluszek squeezed first and found another {5-?} to make a full house and Ivey would need to pair up to survive. Amazingly he squeezed the {K-Clubs} to give him sixes full of kings and a bigger full house to move to around 55,000 in chips.

A few moments later Ivey doubled up again, this time through Daniel Negreanu. Ivey had the {A-Clubs} as his up card with the {A-Spades} in the hole, and it was enough to get past Negreanu's pair of queens as Ivey now sits with 95,000 in chips! Amazing!

Ivey Survives Again!

It's become the Phil Ivey show here as he had doubled up once again through Daniel Negreanu. The boards ran out:

Ivey: ({10-Hearts}{6-Spades}) {10-Spades}{A-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} ({A-Clubs})
Negreanu: ({K-Spades}{K-Clubs}) {A-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{3-Clubs} ({2-Diamonds})

Ivey hits a full house, tens full of aces to overrun the kings and sevens of Negreanu, as Ivey now sits comfortably in the pack with about 200,000 leaving Negreanu in trouble with 75,000 chips.

Phil Ivey a Royal Pain to His Competitors

Was that a royal?  Wow.
Was that a royal? Wow.
The Phil Ivey comeback trail continues. Ivey was just involved in a hand with David Oppenheim. Every street was bet through sixth street. On the river, Ivey bet out showing {7-Spades} {8-Diamonds} {J-Spades} {A-Spades}. Oppenheim called showing {3-Spades} {9-Spades} {Q-Clubs} {5-Diamonds}. Ivey showed ({10-Spades} {K-Spades} {Q-Spades}) for the royal flush. After the hand, Ivey is now up to 320,000 in chips.
