Ivey Eliminated

After building a big stack during the rebuy period, Phil Ivey has been eliminated.

The flop came {2-Diamonds}

, and Ivey bet the pot. A middle position player raised all in with his last 30,000, and Costner reraised with his last 36,000. Ivey made the call with his remaining chips.

Ivey showed {9-Spades}
