He's Here
Yes. He's here. We don't even have to introduce him, but for the record, Phil Ivey just sat down. He's probably the last player to sit down in this event as registration closed about 30 minutes ago.
Ivey is playing against, among others, David Chiu, Leo Margets and Derek Raymond and their day just got a whole lot tougher.

Boeken Enters, Levi Exits
Stud-8
Noah Boeken was also among the last players to enter this event as he just sat down after the 30 minute break. Right as we noticed him he already won a pot.
| Noah Boeken |  /     / |
| Brandon Guss | /     / |
Boeken raised it up to 250 on third street and Guss was his only caller. On fourth, fifth and sixth street Guss ended up calling bets as well after which seventh street was dealt. Boeken looked down at his final card, hesitated, and decided to check. Guss checked as well.
Boeken showed 
for two pair and Guss threw his cards into the muck. After this hand Boeken was up to over 9,000, but on the very next hand he lost some. David Levi got eliminated when he managed to make just a pair of fives against his opponent's aces. Singer is done while Boeken is just getting ready to play some poker.

Bari Having a Party
Allen Bari seems to be having a bit of a party over at his table that includes Tony Cousineau, Nicholas Verkaik, Matt Graham and Joe Hachem. Bari's up to roughly 26,000 and winning many, many pots. At one point, he turned to a PokerNews reporter and said, "Just stay over here. Forget about all of the other tables, this is where it's all happening! Really, it's so disgusting how good I am at this."
The table got some good laughs at what Bari said, but he still had more to say. He looked at Hachem and said, "Joe, if you want, I do OE coaching... at a fairly reasonable price."
Again the table got a good laugh, but it looks like Bari is laughing last as he's the one with the most chips.
