Ivey, Kruse Among Early Risers
Phil Ivey is in the field playing under a United Kingdom banner and already doubled up his starting stack in the early stages. In a blind-on-blind battle, Christian Rudolph four-bet shoved pocket sevens, Ivey called with queens and held.
At another table, Fedor Kruse has eliminated a player to double his stack as well.
