Ivey Winning It

Hold'em

Phil Ivey and Brandon Shack-Harris have just played two back-to-back hands of Limit Hold'em, with both hands going to Ivey. The second one played out like this.

Ivey opened from middle position and Shack-Harris three-bet out of the small blind. Ivey made the call and the two took to a {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{k-Spades} flop. On the flop, Shack-Harris bet and Ivey called. The {j-Hearts} turn would see Shack-Harris check and then tank when Ivey bet. After quite some time, Shack-Harris opted to let his hand go and send another pot to Ivey.

Ivey Scoops Monnette

Omaha 8

Phil Ivey raised in first position, and the action folded to John Monnette who defended his big blind. The dealer fanned {k-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}, and Monnette led out. Ivey called.

The turn was the {5-Spades}, and Monnette slowed down, check-calling a bet. The {q-Spades} completed the board, and Monnette check-called one more bet. Ivey tabled {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades} for a set of queens and the second-nut low, and scooped the pot.

Brandon Shack-Harris Eliminated in 10th Place ($35,923)

Brandon Shack-Harris - 10th Place
Brandon Shack-Harris - 10th Place

Omaha 8

Brandon Shack-Harris has just been eliminated shortly after the break. It was during a hand of Omaha Eight-or-Better and it was against Phil Ivey.

Shak-Harris got the remainder of his short-stack in on a flop showing {a-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{a-Spades} and this is how the cards looked at this point.

Shack-Harris: {a-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{8-Spades}{3-Hearts}
Ivey: {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

Shack-Harris flopped the full-house, but the {9-Clubs} on the turn gave Ivey a better full house and with no qualifying low to show for, the {3-Diamonds} river changed nothing and Shack-Harris was sent home in 10th place. With that, we head to our unofficial final table.
