It was a brutal exit for Scott Montgomery. We caught up with the action on the turn of a board reading . Montgomery, in the small blind, checked to Samlane Phomveha, who bet 4,100. Montgomery then raised it up to 12,000. Phomveha clicked it back, making it 24,000. Enough of that, Montgomery moved all in for a total of 82,000. And Phomveha snap called. Montgomery showed for the turned set, but his opponent held for a better flopped one. Ouch. The on the river wasn't the case four Montgomery needed, and he's out almost as soon as he got here.
In an event so full of big names, nearly every table is stacked, but a few are even more intimidating than others. For example, the feature table includes Phil Ivey, James Akenhead, George Danzer, and Todd Terry. Not so great for the other two poor souls that table. Also sharing the felt are Matt Graham, Tom Marchese, Darus Suharto, and Ryan D'Angleo. Shannon Shorr, Isaac Haxton, Chad Brown, and David Singer are all together. And as the day goes on and tables consolidate, they'll only get tougher. We'll keep you posted.
