Two Pros Going in Two Directions

Scott Fischman and Phil Ivey are sitting only a few tables apart in the Amazon Room, but their days couldn't be going any differently.

As we watched, Fischman got a walk in the big blind and flashed the {A-Clubs} before taking the pot. It was a big win for him, considering he's down to just 500 after losing a big hand earlier on.

Ivey's table, on the other hand, has already lost three players, with chips fairly well distributed among the survivors. Ivey has more than slightly doubled his starting stack, and is sitting on about 10,000.
