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.

Wong End of The Straight

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Boatman Clipped

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}{4-Hearts}{7-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}{7-Clubs}.

Ivey Under 100,000

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

Boatman checked the {9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{A-Diamonds} 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.

Ivey, Boatman and [Removed:198]

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.
