Ari Engel fired 450 on the river with the board reading {10-Clubs}{8-Spades}{7-Spades}{6-Clubs}{2-Clubs}. His opponent raised to 1,650, and Engel engaged in some banter with his opponent before mucking {a-Clubs}{a-} face-up. His opponent flashed him a flush, and the players got up for break.

David Williams (Seen Here Competing in an Earlier WSOP Event)

David Williams busted another bullet recently, when he ran the {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts} into the dreaded {A-}{A-}.

The board ran out clean for the aces, and Williams was eliminated from the tournament for at least the second time time today.

Malm on Wrong End of Ruling; Mortensen Out

Level 4 : 75/150, 0 ante

We got to Table 441 just as the tournament supervisor arrived. Apparently, Michael Malm, who was facing a bet of 1,800 from an opponent, had held out all of his chips in his hand but pulled them back after his overeager opponent had tried putting all of his chips in. The floor ruled that he had to call the bet since Malm had made a forward motion with his chips and induced action from his opponent.

"Your flush is good, I just have an eight," Malm said. Sure enough, his opponent turned over {4-Spades}{5-Spades} for a flush on the {3-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{6-Spades}{j-Spades}{q-Spades} board.

Meanwhile, Carlos Mortensen's seat is now occupied by another player.

Barkatul Eliminates Ivey

Level 4 : 75/150, 0 ante
Phil Ivey Here on Day 1B
Phil Ivey Here on Day 1B

Minutes after publishing the praises of one Phil Ivey, we watched him ship the rest of a still healthy stack into the middle without even bothering to check his hole cards.

Mohammed Barkatul told Ivey he was calling no matter what, and the man lauded as the game's best player decided to call his bluff, shoving all in blind.

Barkatul found the {A-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} to be more than enough to take on two random cards, and he stayed true to his word by calling Ivey down.

Ivey slowly turned over the {6-Hearts} before revealing the {5-Spades} with a look of disappointment flashing across his face.

When the board ran out {k-Spades}{10-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} by the turn, Ivey mysteriously called for a queen, which would have put a straight on board but not the saving chop he seemed to be alluding to.

Nonetheless, the {10-Diamonds} arrived on fifth street, and Ivey made his traditional hasty exit from the tournament floor.

The Intimidator

Phil Ivey

With the tables in the Amazon Room breaking slowly but surely, Phil Ivey has finally made his way to the Brasilia Room, and the most skilled player in the game is already doing what he does best.

We watched Ivey take down two small pots by three-betting the initial raise. Both times, the opponent appeared to have no problems at all folding to the pressure of the infamous Ivey Stare.
