Ivey Not Done Yet

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Stud Hi-Low

First we saw Phil Ivey complete with the {10-Diamonds} and all opponents folded to give him the bring the antes. One hand later he showed the {9-Hearts} and completed again, two opponents called with aces showing. Ivey called all bets until sixth street where he tossed in his last 100 with a pair of jacks showing and both other players made the call.

Opponent 1: (x-x) / {A-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} / muck
Opponent 2: {A-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{4-Clubs} / {7-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{3-Spades}
Ivey: {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades} / {9-Hearts}{5-Spades}{J-Clubs}{J-Spades} / {6-Diamonds}

It was a split pot but over those two hands, Ivey has more than doubled his short stack.

Stud Hi-Low

It was the last hand in seven-card stud at the table of Ismael Bojang and Phil Ivey with the latter completing while showing the {7-Hearts}. Stanislav Parkhomenko from Bulgaria called with the {2-Hearts} showing and kept betting until fifth when Ivey got the remainder of his stack in.

Parkhomenko: {K-Diamonds}{K-} / {2-Hearts}{3-Spades}{6-Spades}{4-} / {8-}
Ivey: {10-Hearts}{3-Clubs} / {7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} / {7-Diamonds}

Ivey ended up with a measly pair of sevens, which failed to overcome Parkhomenko’s kings with a low.

Friedman With a Wheel

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 100 ante

Omaha Hi-Low

Adam Friedman made two bets pre flop and got one caller to fire all the way on a {8-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{2-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} board. The opponent called every single bet and Friedman then announced "wheel" after the river. He tabled {2-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{A-Spades}{4-Hearts} and the opponent mucked.

On the other side of the tournament area we walked by the table of WPT tournament director Matt Savage and he has built a nice stack.

Moed In Great Mood

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 100 ante

Stud Hi-Low

Michael Moed had two bets in with showing the {A-Spades} and an opponent made the call with the {A-Hearts} showing. Moed fired all streets until seventh and his opponent didn't see his bet at first, then called off.

Moed: {8-Spades}{3-Spades} / {A-Spades}{8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} / {9-Diamonds}
Opponent: {A-Clubs}{3-Hearts} / {A-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} / {10-Diamonds}

"I can't put you on aces up there if I have them," the opponent said. "Did you catch the eight on seventh?" Moed replied with "No, I had it rolled up already."
