Is This the Real Ivey?

Phil Ivey raised to 16,000 before [Removed:197] moved all in for 150,800. Ivey made the call with {8-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} and was racing [Removed:198]'s {A-Clubs} {K-Clubs}.

The board ran {4-Spades} {9-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {9-Hearts}. Ivey's hand counterfeited on the river and he doubles [Removed:198] up to 303,000 while he's down to 162,000.

Peter Feldman Eliminated in 9th Place ($16,740)

Peter Feldman finally took a stand by getting his short-stack all in holding {4-Hearts}{4-Clubs} against Danny Wong's {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}.

The flop of {9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{J-Clubs} kept Feldman in the lead, but the {10-Diamonds} on the turn would give him a huge sweat for his tournament life.

With Wong drawing to any Ace, King, Queen or nine, Feldman would be disgusted when the {K-Diamonds} landed on the river to make Broadway for Wong and send Feldman to the rail.

Double Dragan

David Pham had just doubled through Andrew Lichtenberger. Pham bet 61,000 on the turn that was called before the river gave us a {3-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {A-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {A-Clubs} board.

Pham bet 210,000 and was all in and after a tank Litchenberger called; but mucked upon seeing Pham's {A-Diamonds} {4-Spades} for a full house.

Pham on 580,000 to Litchenberger's 320,000.

Boatman Doubles

Phil Ivey limped in on the button to see [Removed:197] bump the action to 22,500 from the small blind. Barny Boatman moved all in from the big blind, and once Ivey passed, [Removed:198] made the call.

Boatman: {10-Spades}{9-Spades}
[Removed:198]: {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}

The board ran out {4-Clubs}{4-Spades}{8-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} to see Boatman double through to 423,000 as [Removed:198] slips to 228,000 and change.

The river had been dealt giving us a {3-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {9-Spades} {8-Spades} {J-Hearts} board. Peter Feldman led out for 80,000 before Danny Wong min-raised to 160,000. After a bit of thought Feldman called but mucked upon seeing Wong's {Q-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} for a straight.

Wong has a commanding 780,000 to 120,000 chip lead now.

Ivey Doubles

With the action on Phil Ivey in the small blind, he opened to 14,000 before [Removed:197] reraised to 45,000 total.

Ivey quickly moved all in for 200,100 and after a few moments deliberating, [Removed:198] made the call.

Ivey: {A-Spades}{J-Diamonds}
[Removed:198]: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

The board would drop {7-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{7-Spades} to see Ivey double through to 401,700 as [Removed:198] slips to 278,000 in chips.

Nasr Move

It was a limped pot that had gotten to the turn giving us a {9-Spades} {3-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds}. Phil Ivey led out for 13,000 from the BB and [Removed:198] called from the button. The river came {10-Clubs} and Ivey led out for 35,000 this time only for [Removed:198] raised it up to 80,000. A disgruntled looking Ivey let it go.

The Boat Toots

Sucking in the air and chowing down on food!
Sucking in the air and chowing down on food!
With play underway, Phil Ivey and [Removed:197] decided to pause their first hand as Barny Boatman was nowhere to be found.

Three minutes ticked past and finally we saw Boatman scurrying through the crowds and railbirds with a plate of food in his hand.

One he took his seat, panting and gasping for air Ivey threw out a bet of 13,000 to which [Removed:198] folded.

"Wait a sec . . . I'm supposed to be on the button" stated Boatman as he kept grasping for much-needed oxygen.

The supervisor was called over, and deemed that substantial action had occurred and therefore the raise stood and he was forced to play out of the big blind.

"Yeah, but, I would have had that hand" mutters Boatman as he points to Ivey's capped cards.

Ivey stared up at Boatman with his usual puzzled glare before announcing, "but if we played you would have lost twenty thousand instead of just five" due to the fact they waited till he had returned.

Still sucking in the oxygen and panting hard, Boatman relinquished his hand before finally coming to the realization that he would have in fact lost more if the cards were in the air on the right time.
