Ivey and Provenzano Chop Up Ishii

Phil Ivey: {x-}{x-} / {Q-Clubs}{9-Spades}{10-Clubs}{8-Spades} / {x-}
Mark Provenzano: {x-}{x-} / {4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{7-Spades} / {x-}
Akio Ishii: {x-}{x-} / {7-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{2-Clubs}{9-Hearts} / {x-}

When we arrived at the table for this hand, Phil Ivey had checked on fourth street and Mark Provenzano bet. Behind him, Akio Ishii made the call and then Ivey called. When Ishii called he was all in.

On fifth street, Ivey and Provenzano checked. On sixth, Ivey checked and then Provenzano bet. Ivey called. On seventh street, Ivey check-called another bet from Provenzano.

Provenzano tabled the {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for a seven-four low. Ivey showed the {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{K-Hearts} for a pair of aces. Ishii showed the {K-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} and only had a pair of sixes. Because he was all in and couldn't win either the high or the low, Ishii was eliminated. Provenzano and Ivey collected his chips and moved onto the next hand.

Phil Ivey was driving the betting the entire way on this one. On streets four and five, Ivey bet and Sharaskin called. On sixth and seventh, Sharaskin first checked and Ivey bet. Sharaskin only called sixth before he folded and seventh and Ivey won the pot.

Father and Son Update

Doyle Brunson
Doyle Brunson

The father and son combo of Doyle Brunson and Todd Brunson have been seated at the same table all day today. At the start of the day, Todd had the edge with 45,800 in chips to Doyle's 29,000. We just checked in on them now and saw that it's now Doyle in front. He has 49,000 to Todd's 15,000.

This is Doyle's first event of the 2012 World Series of Poker, opting to play a much smaller schedule than normal to keep the wear and tear off of his body. Between the two of them, over $9.5 million in live tournament earnings are represented. They also have a combined 11 WSOP gold bracelets and 67 WSOP cashes.

Harman Sent Packing

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 200 ante

We found a short stacked Jen Harman who put her last 1,400 in the middle and received one caller.

Harman: {6-Clubs}{3-Spades} / {6-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{A-Spades} / {A-Diamonds}
Opponent: {5-Clubs}{A-Clubs} / {6-Spades}{7-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{J-Clubs} / {J-Hearts}

Harman's opponent was able to scoop with a club flush and send the two-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner to the rail.

Yarron Bendor (Event 4)

Yarron Bendor was down all the way to 4,000 in chips, but has since built his stack back up to 27,000 in chips. He did it all quickly over the course of about five or six hands.

Bendor placed fourth in Event 4: $1,500 Seven Card Stud Hi-Low 8-or-Better at the beginning of the 2012 World Series of Poker for nearly $60,000.
