Ivey Here to Win

Limit Hold'em

Phil Ivey was just eliminated from Event: 32 $10,000 H.O.R.S.E. and casually left the final table arena and took his seat here in Event 35.

It didn't take long for him to get involved in a pot, finding him raising it up in a pot preflop from early position. The table folded around to the small blind who three-bet. Ivey called and both players were allowed to see the flop.

The flop came {4-Clubs}{4-Spades}{7-Clubs}, and it was here that the small blind continued with a bet and Ivey raised. The small blind made the call.

The {k-Clubs} on the turn allowed for the small blind to move all in. Ivey threw out the call and cards were tabled.

Ivey: {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}
Small Blind: {k-Spades}{j-Clubs}

Ivey held the advantage with a full-house, sevens over fours while his opponent possessed two-pair, kings and fours. If Ivey could avoid a king on the river he would win a nice pot and deliver a knock-out. Indeed a {9-} did fall and Ivey scooped the chips.

Dempsey Crushing

No-Limit Hold'em

Noah Schwartz had opened with a raise and James Dempsey reraised from late position. The big blind put in a cold four-bet, which knocked Schwartz out of the way. Dempsey went all in and his opponent called.

Dempsey tabled the {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs} for the mother of all hands against his opponent's {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}. The board ran out {9-Spades}{8-Hearts}{4-Spades}{5-Spades}{9-Diamonds} and Dempsey busted the player to move to 48,000 in chips.

To give you a bit of info on Dempsey, he is a World Series of Poker gold bracelet winner from 2010 when he won the $1,500 Pot-Limit Hold'em for just under $200,000. The largest single score of his career came from a victory at the World Poker Tour Doyle Brunson Five Diamond World Poker Classic where Dempsey won over $820,000 for first place. That was in December of 2011.

Haxton

No Limit Hold'em

The board read {k-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} and Isaac Haxton in the big blind checked to his opponent, Chris Klodnicki. Klodnicki bet out 400, and Haxton called coming along for the ride.

The {q-Spades} on the turn saw both players check their options. The {5-Clubs} on the river brought Haxton coming out firing for 1,350 causeing Klodnicki to go deep into the tank. After a minute or so passed Klodnicki threw it away and Haxton was award the pot.

Porter Punted Away

No Limit Hold'em

We don't know exactly what happened but we know Rep Porter has been eliminated after his {j-}{9-} couldn't outrun David Baker's {9-}{9-}.

A Few New Players

Late registration has ended and here are a few notables we have noticed.

Kings are Good

No Limit Hold'em

Matt Glantz raised it up and action folded around to a short stack who moved in for about 3,500. The table folded back to Glantz and he hesitantly made the call.

Glantz: {A-Spades}{5-Hearts}
Opponent: {K-Hearts}{k-Spades}

The board came {3-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and the short stack received his double up.
