Double Up For Seed

We caught up just as Seed was scooping a sizable pot. Apparently he had gotten all in preflop with {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs} against a lone opponent's {J-Spades}{J-Hearts}. The board held for Seed and he doubled through his opponent to 20,500.

Ivey Inching Upward

Phil Ivey
Phil Ivey

We caught up with the action on a {A-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} flop, where Phil Ivey was in a three-handed pot.

The first player to act in the hijack checked to the player in the cutoff, who fired 4,000. Ivey called from the button and the player in the hijack folded.

Both remaining players checked the {4-Clubs} turn, however, when Ivey's opponent checked the {3-Spades} river, Ivey fired 6,000 into the middle. His opponent didn't take long to call and Ivey tabled {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} for aces and tens with a queen kicker. Ivey's opponent dejectedly showed {A-}{9-} and mucked.

Ivey is up to 40,000.

Marchese Gets Bluffed

At Tom Marchese's table, there was a board showing {4-Spades}{q-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{a-Hearts} and Marchese had checked to one opponent who bet 5,000. Marchese then went into the tank for quite some time before saying, "okay," and folding his hand.

At this point Marchese's opponent slapped over {7-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for a whole lot of nothing and Marchese looked a little disgusted.

Marchese Doubles

We missed the action, but caught up just as Tom Marchese was scooping a large pot after getting all in for 26,500. Marchese held the {10-Clubs}{10-Spades} on a {3-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{7-Clubs} board for a set. His lone opponent had already mucked his hand.

Good Flop for Jarvis

When we arrived at Matt Jarvis' table, he appeared to have been three-bet shoving for 9,575 after a player opened for 3,000 from middle position. The player thought hard, taking almost a minute to decide that he would in fact make the call.

Jarvis: {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Opponent: {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

"That's a good flop," said Jarvis as the dealer spread out {9-Spades}{2-Spades}{2-Diamonds}. The turn and river bricked off and Jarvis raked in the double up.
