On a flop of {9-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} Phil Ivey and John Hennigan got all the money in the middle. Ivey turned up {K-Diamonds} {9-Spades} for top pair, but Hennigan had him crushed with {9-Hearts} {7-Hearts} for two pair. The turn was the {A-Hearts}, the river was the {3-Diamonds} and Hennigan dragged the pot, leaving Ivey with only 2,000 in chips.

A few hands later, they were all in again on a flop of {8-?} {7-?} {3-?}. Ivey held {J-?} {10-?} and again was in bad shape against Hennigan's {Q-?} {Q-?}. The turn was a {7-?}, the river was a {Q-?} and Ivey was eliminated in the first round, while Hennigan will advance.
