Caught a Gust of Wind

MarcC

Boatman raised it up to 15,000 and was called before a {7-Hearts}

flop came down. [Removed:198] check called a 12,000 bet, a 25,000 on the {J-Spades}

turn and an 50,000 bet on the {9-Hearts}

river.

Boatman tabled {J-Hearts}

and [Removed:198] mucked. [Removed:198] still has a slight lead in this battle.

More of the Same

MarcC

No big pot of note so far. Boatman won a pot of around 70,000 and then [Removed:198] just won one back.

He called a preflop raise from Boatman then led out on a {6-Diamonds}

flop for 16,000. Boatman called but mucked to a 28,000 bet on the {8-Hearts}

turn.

Score Draw So Far

MarcC

Pretty even between Boatman and [Removed:198] so far. The only real pot of note got all the way to the river with a lot of chips in the pot but ended up as a chop.

Ivey --

The board ran {6-Diamonds}

Lichtenberger Snaps Turn To Double

[user80015]

Andrew Lichtenberger bumped it to 15,000 from the button before David Pham made it 46,000 to go.

Lichtenberger then pushed all in and was insta-called by Pham.

Lichtenberger: {J-Clubs}

Pham:

The flop of {10-Hearts}

would change little, but when the {J-Hearts}

landed on the turn Lichtenberger soared into the lead.

The river saw the {9-Clubs}

peel off as Lichtenberger doubled through to 510,000 as Pham slipped to 390,000 in chips.

Ivey, Boatman and [Removed:198]

MarcC

Phil Ivey is getting frustrated or so it seems. He's being pushed off pots especially by [Removed:198] who seems to know when to pull the trigger forcing his opponent to call for his tournament life on more than one occasion. Barny Boatman seems content to wait for hands and play them aggressively.

Level: 6

Blinds: 3,000/6,000

Ante: 500

Ivey Under 100,000

[user80015]

Phil Ivey opened the pot to 14,000 and Barny Boatman made the call from the big blind.

Boatman checked the {9-Clubs}

flop to see Ivey bet out 25,000. Boatman then check-raised to 53,000 with Ivey making the call before both players checked the {A-Spades}

on the turn.

When the river fell the {10-Clubs}

an 80,000-chip bet from Boatman would prompt a fold from Ivey as he slipped to below 100,000 chips.

Boatman Clipped

[user80015]

Barny Boatman opened to 14,000 from the button with [Removed:197] defending his big blind.

[Removed:198] check-called 15,000 on the {Q-Hearts}

flop to see the {7-Spades}

fall on the turn. Both players checked until [Removed:198] bet out 44,000.

Boatman tanked for nearly two minutes before making the call only to muck when he saw [Removed:198] table his {K-Spades}

.
