Bonomo Extends His Lead

Level 15 : 120,000/240,000, 240,000 ante

Justin Bonomo made it 600,000 to go on the button and Rick Salomon called in the small blind along with Byron Kaverman in the big blind. The flop came {j-Spades}{3-Spades}{2-Hearts} and the action checked to Bonomo who continued for 600,000. Salomon quickly folded but Kaverman called.

The turn was the {5-Clubs} and Kaverman checked it over to Bonomo again. He checked back and the {9-Hearts} landed on the river. Kaverman gave it some thought and then threw in a bet of 900,000. Bonomo looked him up and Kaverman tabled {k-Spades}{8-Spades} for a missed flush draw while Bonomo held {j-Clubs}{10-Spades} to scoop the pot.

Einhorn Wins a Flip Against Ivey

Level 15 : 120,000/240,000, 240,000 ante
David Einhorn and Phil Ivey
David Einhorn and Phil Ivey

David Einhorn moved all in for 2,810,000 from under the gun and Phil Ivey re-shipped on his left. The rest of the table got out of the way and the two hands were tabled.

David Einhorn: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Phil Ivey: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

It was a coin flip for all of the chips and the flop of {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{2-Spades} favored Einhorn. The {6-Spades} on the turn left Ivey drawing to two outs and the {2-Diamonds} on the river was not one of them. Einhorn scored a full double up and is now even with Ivey in chips.
