Dwan Uses First Button

Facing a raise to 150 pre-draw, Tom Dwan moved his last 900 into the middle from the big bling and found a call from the original raiser.

Both players drew one and Dwan announced a nine only to have his opponent table his {8-}{7-}{5-}{3-}{2-}.

With Dwan felted for the first time in the tournament, he tossed in one of his add-on buttons to have a fresh replenishment of 1,000.

Ivey Triples

Phil Ivey opened to 200 and found one caller before an opponent in the small blind moved all in for 975. Ivey also moved all in, as did the third opponent in the hand.

"I'm going to regret this one" stated Ivey as he drew one and tossed away his {j-Hearts} while one opponent tossed in the {A-Spades} as the other player involved also drew one.

Ivey caught a king to make his hand {K-}{9-}{6-}{3-}{2-} while one opponent paired up and the other found an {A-} to see Ivey awarded the pot.

"This game is alright" uttered Ivey as he chipped up to over 8,000 having already used his three add-on buttons.
