Shuffle Up and Deal

Shamus

We're underway. For those wondering, Phil Ivey has not appeared yet. His short stack awaits him over at table #150, should he show.

Alan Keating Eliminated in 19th Place ($14,413)

Shamus

Alan Keating was just forced to commit his short stack and when the hand was done, he, too, has hit the rail in 19th.

Phil Ivey still hasn't shown, but has made the next pay jump nonetheless.

Altinbas Cracks Ahmadi's Aces

Shamus

Oktay Altinbas open-shoved all in for 115,000 from the cutoff, and Bahador Ahmadi called from the big blind. Ahmadi had woken up with {A-Spades}

, while Altinbas was in tough shape with {7-Diamonds}

.

The flop came {J-Clubs}

, and Altinbas was still alive. And the turn brought the {10-Clubs}

, giving him the straight. The river was a meaningless {5-Diamonds}

, and Altinbas doubles to 250,000. Ahmadi now has 645,000.

Small Double Up for Ivey

Shamus

, and Ivey {K-Spades}

. The board came {Q-Spades}

, and Ivey survives. He now has about 50,000.
