Schneider WIns Huge Pot from Leah

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

We have just been informed that Tom Schneider doubled up in a hand against Mike Leah.

Schneider held {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} and when the board ran out {9-Spades}{5-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{7-Spades} Leah couldn't beat Schneider's aces and his hand was tossed into the muck.

Schneider now how 32,000 including his two lammers. Leah is down to 5,800, including one lammer.

Roller Coaster Day for Ivey

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

Phil Ivey is not a man who is afraid to get his chips into the middle, as is evident by the massive swings in his chip stack.

Our colleague Pamela Maldonado saw us on the tournament floor and told us she'd just seen Ivey double up with {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{6-Spades} versus {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{7-Spades} with the chips going in preflop. The board ran out {9-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{4-Clubs}{J-Spades}{6-Hearts} and Ivey's aces held, doubling him up.

Linton Flying High

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

British pro Pete Linton is flying high here in the $3,000 Pot Limit Omaha event, his 29,200 chips putting him right up there with the leaders.

If Linton's name is ringing is ringing a bell inside your head it is because he recently finished fourth in the ISPT Main Event at Wembley Stadium. Linton prefers high stakes cash games to tournament poker, Pot Limit Omaha being his favorite game. Keep your eye out for more Linton updates now that he has a decent stack at his disposal.

Negreanu Sits Down and Chips Up

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

A player opened to 700 in early position, and Daniel Negreanu, who just recently sat down, three-bet to 2,400 from the big blind.

"Here we go," the inaugural World Series of Poker Asia-Pacific Main Event winner said, grinning.

His opponent made the call, and the dealer spread {4-Spades}{k-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}. Kid Poker led out for 4,800, and the player started to tank.

"Oh boy," Negreanu sighed. "You have it."

The player apparently didn't have "it," because he folded. Negreanu happily dragged in the pot.
