Stud-8
Jeffrey Mervis has been eliminated at the hands of Phil Ivey. Mervis was short stacked and all in as the dealer was flinging out cards all over the table. Mervis was in front with two pair, fives and deuces, plus a low draw as Ivey found an ace on the river to make aces and eights to take the lead. Mervis squeezed his river with plenty of outs to stay alive, but found a nine to be sent to the rail.
Ivey is up to 87,000 chips.
