Winner, Maxim Lykov
Maxim Lykov had battled back to take the chip lead off Lex Veldhuis before this hand. Veldhuis opened with a raise before Lykov three-bet to 29,000. Velduis then pumped it up even more to 78,000 before Lykov shoved and was called.

Veldhuis -- {A-Diamonds} {4-Spades}
Lykov -- {A-Spades} {J-Diamonds}

The board ran {K-Spades} {K-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} {9-Hearts} to eliminate Velduis and confirm Lykov as our first table winner today and our first final table player.

The Ride Continues

Running amok at the moment!
Running amok at the moment!
After taking down a nice pot holding {A-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} on a {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{J-Clubs} when he value-bet Wilf Saar for 16,000 on the river to move to 88,000; Phil Ivey was at it again.

Barny Boatman made it 8,500 on the button, and Phil Ivey made the call before Justin Filtz bumped it to 24,000 from the small blind. Boatman folded and Ivey made the call.

The action was checked down to the river when the board ran out {Q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{J-Spades} to see a 30,000-chip bet from Filtz. Ivey moved all in for an additional 28,700 and Filtz called.

Ivey tabled Broadway with his {A-Hearts}{10-Spades} to take the pot down and double through to just under 185,000 after being down to his last 7,500 only a few orbits ago.

The Roller Coaster Ride of Ivey

[Removed:197] opened to 8,000 from under the gun before Phil Ivey made it 26,000 to go from the small blind. Nasr pushed all in and Ivey made the call.

[Removed:198]: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}
Ivey: {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}

The board ran out {2-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{4-Clubs} and [Removed:198] doubled to 260,000 as Ivey was left with only 7,500.

Two hands later Ivey moved all in for his last 6,700, and after being called round, Barny Boatman isolated to take it heads up.

Boatman: {A-Clubs}{5-Spades}
Ivey: {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}

The board ran out {Q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds} and Ivey was back to 30,000 in chips.

Two hands after that Ivey found another double through Boatman when he called a bet on the turn and then on the river for his tournament life.

Boatman: {Q-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
Ivey: {J-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

The board fell {2-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{J-Hearts} to see Ivey double 60,000 in chips.
