E comes before E

Here one moment gone the next.
Here one moment gone the next.
Bill Edler and Antonio Esfandiari just got it all in preflop for a big pot. Edler held {8-?} {8-?} to Esfandiari's {A-?} {Q-?}. An ace and a eight on the flop meant Edler came out on top to bust his opponent and move to 80,000.

Two Fall at Table Ivey

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-?} {J-?} from the SB got the better of Feldman's {9-?} {9-?} in the BB.

Soon after, Gavin Smith got it all in with {Q-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} versus an opponent's {A-Spades} {J-Diamonds}. The board ran {A-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {A-?} {2-?} {K-?} to bust the Canadian.

Phillips Doubles

Double time for Dennis
Double time for Dennis
Dennis Phillips has found a nice double up to 14,000 when he check-raised all in against two players with the board reading {6-Spades}{5-Spades}{J-Clubs}{A-Clubs}.

Phil Hellmuth folded his club draw, and the aggressor on the turn made the call tabling {4-Spades}{3-Spades} to be drawing very live against Phillips' {A-Hearts}{8-Hearts}.

The river landed the {K-Clubs} and Phillips stayed alive.

After calling a 1,200-chip raise preflop, Huck Seed pushed all in on a flop of {9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} holding {K-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}.

His opponent made the call with {Q-Hearts}{9-Hearts} and when the turn fell the {3-Spades} and river the {8-Clubs}, Seed was sent to the rail.

Demidov Doubles

Ivan not so terrible
Ivan not so terrible
Ivan Demidov is up to 23,000 after managing to double up with {7-Clubs} {4-Spades} against an opponent's {5-Clubs} {5-Spades}. Not sure of how the hand played out but we were left with a {K-Hearts} {7-Spades} {2-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} board.

Great Scott

Andrew Scott has just fallen to Danny Wong. It all went in on a {2-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} {6-Clubs} flop with Scott holding {A-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} to Wong's drawing {4-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds}. The turn was a harmless {9-Hearts}, but the river {3-Spades} made the straight and Scott leaves us.

Another player not in his seat is Greg Mueller.
