Two Fall at Table Ivey

MarcC

Neither of them involve the great man, but he's chip leader with four left.

The first to fall was Andrew Feldman to Vivek Rajkumar in a blind battle. Rajkumar's {A-?}

from the SB got the better of Feldman's {9-?}

in the BB.

Soon after, Gavin Smith got it all in with {Q-Diamonds}

versus an opponent's {A-Spades}

. The board ran {A-Diamonds}

to bust the Canadian.

E comes before E

MarcC

Bill Edler and Antonio Esfandiari just got it all in preflop for a big pot. Edler held {8-?}

to Esfandiari's {A-?}

. An ace and a eight on the flop meant Edler came out on top to bust his opponent and move to 80,000.
