Ivey was all-in, leaning away from the table and ready to pitch his cards into the muck. The board was

Four players each put in 400 to see a flop of 
. Two checks saw a player bet, Phil Ivey call off his last 100 and then some three and four-bets occur. As a raising war played out between the other three players on both the 
turn and 
river, Ivey sat quietly.
When it was time for the showdown, Ivey waited for his opponents to reveal their hands for the sizable side pot.
Player 1: 
Player 2: 
Player 3: 
As Ivey was waiting for the side pot to get sorted out, he flipped over the 
and joked with the dealer, "I get half of that."
Ivey was referring to the gigantic side pot, which made his main pot look quite paltry. Ivey has great powers but was unable to convince the dealer to push him that pot. Instead he had to settle for half the main pot.

On dinner break from Event #18 , there's one player that just can't get enough of the action.
We found Phil Ivey in the gold section of the $1,500 Omaha Hi-Low tournament when play resumed after dinner. He's a bit short stacked at the moment, around 1,700 in chips, so we'll see if he can build a stack big enough to multi-table both events.

Level 6 is in the books, and that means it's time for the 90-minute dinner break. When the players return they'll play four more levels before calling it a night.
There has been a flurry of eliminations here just before the dinner break. Among them was 1989 World Series of Poker Main Event champ Phil Hellmuth.
His demise came on an 
flop with four players in the hand. Hellmuth and another player were already all in, while Calvin Anderson and another player created a side pot that resulted in the former being all in. The 
turn and river were run out and Anderson tabled the 
for half the main and side pots. His opponent showed the 
for half the side pot, the other at-risk player showed 
for half the main pot and Hellmuth was left out in the cold with the 
.
