[user272102]

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Jeff Madsen: //
Opponent: //

Jeff Madsen completed on third street and found three callers to join him in seeing one more card. He would bet on fourth street and all three would again call. After pairing kings on fifth street, only one player would call Madsen's wager. Madsen led again on sixth street but this time his opponent raised. Madsen called. Madsen would check on seventh street and his opponent would check behind him showing for a jack high straight. Madsen mucked his hand and would be down to 3,050 in chips after the hand.

Like Father, Like Son

[user272102]

Level 5 : 200/400, 0 ante

John Cernuto Sr., better known as "Miami John," is celebrating a very special Father's Day as he is here with his son, John Jr. The resemblance is uncanny and both are taking their shot at this $1,500 Seven-Card Stud event. The elder Cernuto has an impressive WSOP resume that includes 57 cashes and three bracelets.

While his son might not have the same name recognition or experience, he definitely has a great mentor and teacher in his Dad. Happy Father's Day to all the Dads out there - thank you for all that you do!

John Monnette Busts Phil Ivey

[user272102]

Level 5 : 200/400, 0 ante

John Monnette: //
Seat 2: //
Seat 3: //
Phil Ivey: //

A short-stacked Phil Ivey was all in before fourth street and John Monnette and two others built a side pot that Monnette would take down when he tabled for aces and sevens. Seat 2 flashed a king for kings and deuces while Seat 3 mucked. Ivey took one last look at his cards and quietly slid them into the center. He stood up and said "alright see you" and headed out of the Amazon Room.
