Ivey Eliminated

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

Three players -- including Gabe Costner and Chad Brown -- had limped, and Ivey raised to 2,100 from the small blind. All called.

The flop came {2-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

{6-Clubs}

{7-Spades}

, 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}

{9-Spades}

{9-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

{5-Clubs}

for a gutshot draw. Costner had {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

{6-Spades}

{6-Hearts}

{4-Diamonds}

for a set of sixes. And the third player had {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

{10-Hearts}

{9-Diamonds}

{8-Spades}

for a wrap straight draw. Ivey was in trouble.

The {2-Clubs}

decided the hand right there. Ivey and the other player busted, and Costner is now up to 90,000.
