The 2011 World Series of Poker missed the great man Phil Ivey, so it is good to see him back in action in 2012. Unfortunately, Phil Ivey fans will have to wait for another event to see some Ivey action, after he was eliminated at the soft and tender hands of Maria Ho.
Ho raised to 450 in the hijack seat, Ivey jammed for 1,600 in the small blind and Ho made the call.
| Ho |   |
| Ivey |   |
So Ivey was hoping to fade a jack, and the flop of 
did just that. The 
on the turn added any eight to Maria Ho's outs and lo and behold the 
turned up on the river. Then a mini drama as the dealer mucked Maria Ho's hand! The players on the table told the dealer that Ho had hit a straight, and the two cards were retrieved from the muck.
Ivey is out and Ho now has 10,700.

The 2008 WSOP Main Event 4th place finisher, Ylon Schwartz, is out. There was a 350 raise and a cold caller before Schwartz moved all-in for 2,700 more holding 
. One player folded and one player called, holding 
, and the board ran out with a sufficient number of clubs to send Schwartz away from the table and out of the competition.
Kathy Liebert has been eliminated after having a fairly torrid afternoon. She had 
cracked by and in her final hand she had cracked by . So Liebert has gone but Carter Phillips has joined the table instead. Carter is sat on a mouth watering stack of 32,000 and Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu has a more modest 2,400.
Jimmy Fricke just lost a decent sized pot against fan favorite Garry Gates. Gates told us he called a raise from the cut off with 
from Fricke who also saw the big blind call. De flop came down 
with two hearts and Fricke bet 525, both players called.
The turn was the and all three players checked. On the river the 
hit the felt and Fricke fired 1,400. Gates made the call and the big blind folded. Fricke showed 
for ace high and Gates took down the pot with his small flush.
Will "The Thrill" Failla raised to 375 in early position and Ylon Schwartz decided he wanted to see the flop from the big blind. The flop was a lowly looking 
and Schwartz check-called a 400 Failla bet. Next we had the customary checked turn 
before was shown on fifth street. Schwartz checked to Failla who bet 500 and after a slightly puzzled look, Schwartz made the call. Failla turned over 
and it was enough to win the pot.
