It's All About Ivey

Over here in the Brasilia Room, there is really only one topic of conversation at the tables-- Phil Ivey's win in the No-Limit Deuce-to-Seven Event only moments ago. It's pretty safe to say that most of the folks on the losing side of those millions of dollars in side bets are in this room right now.

Next....

Actually, Phil Ivey, John Monnette and Yan Chen all have bought into the $10,000 Mixed Event, will they turn up now?

Greg Raymer Eliminated

Night, Greg
Night, Greg
Pot-Limit Omaha:

Greg Raymer got the rest of his chips in on a 7-5-5 flop against Barny Boatman, holding A-5-X-X against Boatman's T-8-8-5. Both players flopped trips, but Raymer was ahead with a better kicker. The turn was a 9, giving Boatman an open-ended straight draw and he filled it on the river when a jack fell, sending Raymer to the rail.

Minieri Gets Value

Limit Hold'em:

Tim Phan raised from mid position and found himself being reraised by a late position player. Dario Minieri 4-bet on the button, Phan folded and the late position player called.

The flop came {9-Clubs} {4-Hearts} {3-Hearts} and the reraiser led out with Minieri calling. On the {9-Hearts} turn, Minieri bet after a check and was called. The river was the {10-Clubs} and after a second check, Minieri bet again. Called once more, Minieri turned over {A-Hearts} {K-Clubs}.

It was good.

Minieri is on 35,000.
