The Most Uncomfortable Seats in the Room

Just a hunch, but those to the right of Phil Ivey aren't looking too comfy, relatively speaking.

Ivey had put in a preflop raise from early position, and Kristina Holst called from the blinds. Both began the hand with similar stacks -- about 75,000.

The flop came {10-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}. Holst checked, Ivey bet 4,500, and Holst thought for a while before making the call. The turn was another queen -- the {Q-Spades}. Holst tapped the table, and this time Ivey fired out 8,000. Holst took about thirty seconds, then let it go.

Ivey is sitting with around 80,000 at the moment, while Holst still has about 70,000 -- above the current 53,000-chip average.
