: 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Action folded to Luciano Angarolla in the cutoff and he opened to 6,500 only to see the player on the button three-bet to 17,000. The blinds got out of the way and Angarolla called to send the two players heads-up to the flop.
Angarolla checked on the 
flop as did the button player. The 
turn saw Angarolla lead out for 21,000. After some consideration the player on the button made the call.
Both players checked through the 
river and Angarolla showed down 
for the turned two pair, which beat out his opponent's 
to scoop the large pot and send Angarolla's stack shooting up above 100,000.

Only one poker player in history — Phil Hellmuth — has reached the 11 World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet plateau. On Monday, Phil Ivey could join one of poker's most exclusive clubs.
The for-now 10-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner is currently sitting on a large stack with five players remaining in Event #42: $100,000 High Roller No-Limit Hold'em, which slated to play down to a winner tonight.
As it stands, Hellmuth is the record holder with 16 bracelets, followed by Ivey, Johnny Chan, and Doyle Brunson tied at 10.
The $100k was originally scheduled to wrap up with the final table on Tuesday, airing on PokerGO, but PokerGO called an audible and decided to livestream the final table tonight. At the time of publishing, the remaining players were on a dinner break and will come back at 7 p.m. to play it down to a winner, who will receive $1,897,363. Coverage on PokerGO will resume at 8 p.m., along with PokerNews' live reporting updates.
With the blinds at 60,000/120,000, Ivey currently sits at 9,075,000, approximately 75 big blinds, good for second in chips. Aleksejs Ponakovs, an online poker crusher, is the chip leader at 14,450,000 and has been dominating play during Monday's Day 2 session.
