Of course as soon as we proclaim that we won't see Phil Ivey for another couple hours he just came walking by our desk. He's taken his seat and we'll try to catch some of his action.
Phil Ivey has an unattended stack in this event that has been blinded down to 2,100. He's currently busy down the hallway in the Amazon Room with a near 100,000 stack in Event 15 $5,000 Seven Card Stud HiLo and is second in chips.
With his stack and this event going on dinner break, we don't expect to see Mr. Ivey over here any time soon.

A player opened to 450 from the cutoff position and action folded over to Andy Frankenberger in the small blind, who re-raised to 850. The big blind got out of the way and the original raiser called to see a flop, which came 
Both players checked to see a turn, which brought the 
. This time, Frankenberger led out for 1,000 and his opponent immediately raised to 4,000. Frankenberger tanked for a bit and then slid his cards into the muck. His opponent slammed down 
, but Frankenberger, who is wearing ear buds and sun glasses, didn't seem to notice.
During the next hand, Frankenberger asked, "Did he show a bluff?"
"Yes," a fellow tablemate said.
"Niiice," Frankenberger replied.
Frankenberger is down to 7,000.

Randy "Nanonoko" Lew opened to 425 from the cutoff position and found one caller in the big blind.
The flop came 
and Lew's opponent check-called a 475 bet from Lew.
Both players checked the 
turn, however, when a 
landed on the river, Lew fired a hefty 1,375 bet after being checked to a third time. Lew's opponent didn't take long to fling out a call and Lew immediately slid his hand into the muck.
"You're good in cash [games]," Lew's opponent playfully needled - revealing 
for just third-pair.
"Yeah, I guess it's time for me to go home," Lew replied with a smile. "Nice hand."
Lew is down, but not yet out with 4,500.

Unfortunately we missed Daniel Negreanu's bust out but he won't be returning here. We can only assume he's on to the next event.

Tournament poker is seemingly a never-ending grind that drags on for hours. We like to give an inside look at what it's like to play an orbit with a pro. We stood behind online phenom Viktor Blom and recorded everything he did.
Hand 1 - Blom was seated in the big blind and the small blind open-raised and Blom called. The flop came 
and both players checked. The turn brought the , the small blind bet 700 and Blom called. The river came and both players checked again. Blom tabled 
and took the pot.
Hand 2 - From the small blind Blom folded after Mike Mattusow opened from under the gun for 450.
Hand 3 - Blom folded preflop from the button after another player opened and a third player three-bet. Blom popped in his headphones (to listen to what we secretly believe was some Europop) and Mattusow was lecturing the table about poker math and how it applies to tournaments differently than in cash games.
Hand 4 - Blom folded preflop from the cutoff.
Hand 5 - Blom mucked his cards as soon as he got them. Blom started tapping his foot rapidly as if he were a drummer in a punk band.
Hand 6 - Dealer Change! Blom folded preflop from under the gun.
