Smokey and the Bandits

Three-way action between Linda Johnson, Owais Ahmed, and Steve "MrSmokey1" Billirakis.

Johnson: (x-x) / {3-Clubs} {7-Spades} {J-Spades} {6-Hearts} / (x)
Ahmed: (x-x) / {4-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} {4-Hearts} / (x)
Billirakis: (x-x) / {5-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {10-Spades} {3-Diamonds} / (x)

Action checked around on fourth street when we approached, and Ahmed bet all three of the final streets. He was called all the way down by both opponents. At showdown, Johnson revealed {10-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} for the seventy-six and the low half. Ahmed turned up {7-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {4-Clubs} and announced his fours full to take the high half. That leaves Billirakis with no halves at all, and he's been chipped back down to 51,000 after a recent rush.

Singer Puts an End to Ivey

Phil Ivey is gone.
Phil Ivey is gone.

We just passed by Table 406 and discovered Phil Ivey was missing. A quick check with the table confirmed that he had been eliminated from the tournament by David Singer. "I got lucky," Singer said before filling us in.

According to him, Ivey brought it in with the {3-Spades} and Singer limped showing the {8-Hearts}.

Ivey: {7-}{7-} / {3-Spades}{4-Spades}(X)(X) / (X)
Singer: {4-Hearts}{2-Hearts} / {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{J-}{4-} / {4-}

Ivey was short stacked and got the money in early on, but he failed to improve while Singer caught back-to-back fours on sixth and seven for trips and the win.

Liu Chopped Up

Xuan Liu

Another tidbit of a hand, this time in three-way action that included Frankie O'Dell, Xuan Liu, and Jordan Siegel.

O'Dell: (x-x) / {7-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} / (x)
Liu: (x-x) / {3-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {5-Spades} {8-Spades} / (x)
Siegel: (x-x) / {2-Hearts} {7-Spades} {10-Clubs} {8-Hearts} / (x)

Liu was betting sixth street when we walked up, and both opponents called. On the river, the action checked to Siegel, and he made the final bet. When the calls came again, the hands were opened up:

O'Dell: {4-Diamonds} {3-Spades} {2-Clubs} / {7-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts}
Liu: (x-x-x) / {3-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {5-Spades} {8-Spades}
Siegel: {9-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} / {2-Hearts} {7-Spades} {10-Clubs} {8-Hearts}

O'Dell's seventy-five was good enough for the low half, while Siegel's straight gave him the high. Liu spent about 30 seconds checking her cards, trying to put together something useful. She could not, though. Her cards hit the muck, and she's slipped back to about 39,000.

Waggoner Shortens Ivey

Phil Ivey has been reduced to about half the average chip stack after an ill-fated encounter with Marsha Waggoner.

Waggoner: (x-x) / {A-Spades} {7-Hearts} {K-Hearts} {K-Clubs} / (x)
Ivey: (x-x) / {4-Spades} {5-Spades} {9-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} / (x)

We only caught the last three streets of action, and fifth began with Ivey doing the betting. Waggoner bet her lead on sixth, though, and she fired one last bullet on the river. Ivey couldn't call. He made it to seventh but not showdown, and his tuck-and-muck has dropped him down around 16,000.
