David Sands opened the button to 250 only to have Vladimir Geshkenbein move all in from the small blind.
After some deliberation, Sands made the call for his tournament life.
Sands: 
Geshkenbein: 
The board ran out 
to see a rivered ten sending Sands to the rail as Geshkenbein soars over the 6,000-chip mark.
We just saw a couple of hands involving Senovio Ramirez, including one in which Ramirez eliminated Men Nguyen.
In the first, Ramirez opened for 250 and got a call from Peter Feldman in the big blind. Both checked the 
flop. The turn brought the 
. Feldman checked, Ramirez bet 350, and Feldman called. The river was the 
. Feldman again checked, Ramirez bet 900 this time, and Feldman called.
Ramirez showed 
for the rivered straight, and Feldman mucked.
Soon after, Ramirez was raising again before the flop from the button, and Men Nguyen called from the big blind. The flop came 
. Nguyen checked, Ramirez bet 400, and Nguyen called. The turn was the . This time Nguyen bet 500, and Ramirez responded by raising all in. Nguyen called with his remaining chips.
Ramirez showed 
and had Nguyen's 
outkicked. The river was the 
, and Nguyen is out.
Ramirez now has 8,500.
"Put me on his table!" demanded a player while gesturing in the direction of Phil Ivey as their table was breaking.
Unfortunately his wish wouldn't be granted as both headed in opposite directions.
Once Ivey was at his new table, the other nine players all quietened up most likely due to the Ivey-aura.
A couple of limps to Ivey, and he limped behind also as the blinds came along for a ride.
The 
flop was checked to see the 
land on the turn and a 300-chip bet from Ivey was enough to collect the pot.

Phil Ivey recently arrived, and was just about to take his seat at Table 3 as a hand was being dealt.
"Better win a pot now before this guy sits down," cracked one of the players. "Should we just give our chips to you now?" asked another with a grin.
"Wish it was that easy," said Ivey.
