The rule at the 2010 World Series of Poker is that if you expose your hand at any point with pending action, you will receive a penalty of one round.
Over on Table 283, the floor was summoned because a player mistakenly exposed his hand after the second draw of deuce-to-seven. The hand was completed and then the player who turned over his hand before he was supposed to was issued a penalty of one round. On the very next hand, another player did the same thing and the floor was summoned again to issue the penalty. What makes this funny is that the player who exposed his hand the second time around was the opponent of the player who exposed his hand in the first one.
On the flop of , both Phil Ivey and his opponent checked. The turn brought the and the first player fired into Ivey. Ivey raised and his opponent called.
The river completed the board with the and the first player bet. Ivey raised, his opponent reraised and Ivey called.
Ivey tabled the and his opponent slammed the table before showing that his two aces got cracked. Ivey's now up to 9,200 in chips.
From the cutoff seat, Marc Hodge raised and the big blind called. On the first draw, the big blind drew three and Hodge drew two. After the draw, the big blind check-called a bet from Hodge.
For the second draw, the big blind drew one and Hodge stood pat. Hodge fired another bet after his opponent checked. He was called again.
For the third and final draw, the big blind drew another single card and Hodge stood pat. Hodge fired after his opponent checked and won the pot, inducing a fold.
Shortly after that, Hodge won another sizable deuce-to-seven hand and now has about 14,000 in chips.
When we arrived at George Lind's table he was facing a bet of 5,500 from an opponent on a board reading . A call would put Lind's tournament life at stake, which is exactly what he did.
Lind's opponent tabled for a jack-high straight and Lind mucked his cards before exiting the tournament area.
We arrived at this hand to see a board reading with James Mackey calling a bet to create a pot with 1,700 chips in it.
Mackey's opponent bet 500 when the came on the turn, and Mackey called once again. However, when the came on the river and Mackey's opponent moved all in, Mackey thought for a moment before folding.
This hand got off to an interesting start straightaway when the dealer mistakingly announced the blinds to be 50-100 rather than 25-50. There had been a call from a middle-position player and a raise to 425 from Dario Alioto before the error was spotted. A supervisor ruled that the hand would play out at the higher limit before going back down to 25-50 on the next hand.
After Alioto made his raise Dwan re-raised from the button, making it 1,150 to go. Alioto announced he was all in and Dwan quickly made the call.
Alioto:
Dwan:
Dwan was up and out of his seat before the flop of had arrived and had his personal items collected by the time the sealed his fate on the turn. The river was a meaningless and Dwan was out the door.
According to Steve Wong who is seated over at Phil Ivey's table, Ivey and Dwan had a last-longer bet worth $100,000. If that's true and Ivey has now won the bet, he's on a ridiculous freeroll right now.
Phil Ivey is sporting a different pair of headphones today than we've seen in the past. We've seen everything from over-hear, to on-ear, to ear buds from him coming from Bose and Sony among others. Today, he's rocking some Solo headphones as part of the Beats by Dre collection.
On third street, Ivey completed and his opponent called. Ivey then bet-called on fourth after his opponent raised. On fifth and sixth, Ivey fired both times. His opponent folded on sixth and Ivey scooped the early pot to improve to 9,500 in chips.
