Yet To Arrive

[user80015]
With a last minute relocation to the Blue section of the Amazon room, it is no surprise to find a few people not in attendance.

Both Phil Ivey and Justin Filtz are yet to arrive, but with a 75-big blind deep stack, they have a little breathing room.

[Removed:198] Clips Saar

[user80015]
[user80015]
[Removed:197] opened to 4,800 on the button and both Wilf Saar and Barney Boatman called out of the blinds.

The flop of {A-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} was checked round to see Saar fire 10,000 when the {4-Clubs} fell on the turn. Boatman called as did [Removed:198] and when the {8-Spades} landed on the river Saar continued his aggression with a 20,000-chip bet.

Boatman folded, but [Removed:198] bumped it up to 50,000. Saar called, but quickly mucked when he saw [Removed:198]'s {A-Spades}{K-Hearts} to put him up to over 200,000 as Saar slips to 95,000.

Ivey Arrives In Action

"Where am I at?" asks Phil Ivey as he casually strolls up to the tables.

Once seated he opens with a raise to 6,000 to take down the pot.

"I haven't slept in three days" he goes on to say to tablemate Jennifer Harman.

As the conversation quietens, our PokerNews reporter picks up a few bit here and there.

"Some New York Stock guy is in town . . . David Singer, Gus Hansen, Johnny Chan . . . H.O.R.S.E and triple draw"

Read into it how you want, but Ivey is here now battling it out for a shot at his third bracelet of the 2009 World Series of Poker.

John Monnette Eliminated in 29th Place ($16,740)

Not a happy bunny.
Not a happy bunny.
The flop was already out when we reached the table and read {5-Spades} {9-Hearts} {10-Clubs}. John Monette moved all in for 81,500 and after the clock was called on him Davidi Kitai called with {A-Spades} {K-Spades}. Monnette opened {Q-Hearts} {10-Spades} before the turn came {7-Spades} and river {A-Clubs}!!

Kitai spiked an ace on the river to send Monnette crashing out and he wasn't too happy at his opponent's play and voiced these concerns with "I can't beat these f###ing retards".
