Peter Traply just eliminated Davidi Kitai to win his table and finish a frantic period of play at their table. This time the players waited until the {8-Hearts}

flop before all the chips went in with Kitai holding the drawing {A-Hearts}

to Traply's {10-Spades}

.

The turn {4-Spades}

and river

missed Kitai to eliminate him. Peter Traply will be the second name at our final table tomorrow.

Kibler-Melby -- {A-Diamonds}

Pham --

The board came {6-Clubs}

to send the pot Pham's way and bust Kibler-Melby.

Some You Win Some You Lose

MarcC

Barny Boatman and Phil Ivey saw a {A-Clubs}

flop before the former check-raised Ivey's 15,000 bet up to 40,000. Ivey stared at his opponent then raised this bet up to 90,000. Boatman had looked edgy but was fidgeting as well now before he let the hand go.

The next time Ivey was in the BB he called a button raise from [Removed:197] to see a {K-Hearts}

flop. They both checked before Ivey fired 15,000 on the {K-Spades}

turn. [Removed:198] called before they both checked the {Q-Clubs}

river. Ivey opened {J-?}

but [Removed:198] took the pot with {5-Clubs}

.

Phil Ivey might not win them all but he's always trying to finds way to do so.

Lichtenberger In The Lead

[user80015]

Catching the action on the turn with the board reading {2-Diamonds}

and an already healthy pot developing, David Pham led out for 130,000.

Andrew Lichtenberger then moved all in, with Pham making the call.

Lichtenberger: {A-Diamonds}

Pham:

With Lichtenberger at risk, he evaded the knockout when the {Q-Hearts}

fell on the turn to see him double to 680,000 as Pham slips to 220,000 in chips.

The Boat Toots

[user80015]

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.
