The action went like so:
Chris Ferguson, mid position - raise to 600
Phil Ivey, small blind - reraise to 2,000
Ferguson - 6,400
Ivey - all in for 13,500 more
Ferguson - call
Ivey was very much in the lead.
Ivey: 
Ferguson: 
But this can be a silly game sometimes.
Board: 
... 
... 
The third queen on the turn made Ferguson a set and sent the unfortunate Ivey strolling back out into the Rio. Ferguson moved up to 49,000.
Mike Matusow minraised preflop, and Phil Hellmuth flatted. They checked to the river of a 
board. Hellmuth bet 400 on the end, and Matusow folded a pair of queens. Hellmuth showed jacks and instantly went into his familiar speech. "That's why I'm the best in the world. I knew he had queens. That's why I didn't re-raise. That's why I'm me. That's why..."

It folded around to Johnny Chan on the button who raised to 600. Andrw Barton, from whom we haven't heard much today so far, called in the small blind.
Barton bet out 600 on the 
flop and Chan called. Barton bet out another 600 on the 
turn, but this time Chan made it 3,500 to go. Barton called, and they saw the river.
The river was the 
and this time Barton checked. He called a 4,000 bet from Chan, but mucked when Chan turned over a premium 
.
Chan - up to 76,600
Barton - down to 19,800
Phil Ivey opened for 525 in the hijack and Chris Ferguson re-popped for 1,700 total in the big blind. Ivey called, and they saw some community cards.
The flop came down and Ferguson bet out 2,200. Ivey called. They saw a turn and a river - [ and 
respectively - but checked them down. Ferguson tabled for ace high, but Ivey's 
was good to take the pot.
From short stack to 33,000 in just a few hands. It's good to be Phil Ivey. Ferguson meanwhile dropped a little to 25,700.
Phil Hellmuth and Mike Matusow have been getting into it across the table from each other. Matusow's language isn't exactly PG, and the TD just came over to ask him to tone it down a bit. Matusow wasn't about to take that sitting down. He threw the blame at Hellmuth, and things got even louder.
"These are my fans," Matusow boomed. "Stand up when I make fun of Phil Hellmuth!" The rail responded with a rousing cheer.
This may be the oldest tournament field you'll find outside of the Seniors' event, but it also might be the most in need of a time out.
For the first time all day, Howard Lederer and Annie Duke played a pot together. It started off with a min-raise to 400 from Lederer and with the action folded to Duke in the big blind, she reraise to 1,550. Lederer called.
"We will have a family pot," deadpanned TD Robbie Thompson as he announced the action.
The flop was 
. Duke led out for 3,000 and her brother folded.
On an 
flop, Daniel Negreanu led out for 800. Doyle Brunson raised to 2,700 and Negreanu called. Negreanu checked the 
on the turn and Brunson checked behind. The river was the 
and Negreanu checked again. Brunson bet 6,000 and Negreanu called.
Brunson showed ace-eight for aces up, but Negreanu turned his flush with 
and took down the pot. Brunson is now the tournament short stack with just over 12,000 in chips.
Daniel Negreanu opened for 500, Joe Hachem reraised to 1,250 from the button and the action folded back around to Negreanu. He four-bet to 3,600 and Hachem responded with another reraise, this time to 8,400. Negreanu ultimately gave up his hand and Hachem collected a 12,500 pot without seeing a flop.
