No Hall Pass for Ivey as He Has Been Eliminated

Phil Ivey on Day 1.
Phil Ivey on Day 1.

We caught the action on the turn with the board reading {9-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{A-Hearts}{8-Spades}. Galen Hall had a bet of 8,300 out in front of him and action was on Phil Ivey, who opted to move all in for right around 20,000. Hall snap-called and had Ivey in dire straits.

Showdown
Ivey: {K-Clubs}{J-Hearts}
Hall: {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}

Hall held top pair with top kicker, meaning Ivey needed to hit his open-ended straight to stay alive. Unfortunately for Ivey fans everywhere, it was not in the cards as the {6-Clubs} blanked on the river.
