Phil Ivey
Phil Ivey

Phil Ivey check-called 75,000 from Reagan Silber on a {a-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop and the turn was the {7-Diamonds}

Ivey checked once more and Silber bet 175,000. The ten-time WSOP bracelet winner then check-raised all in for 525,000 and Silber called.

Phil Ivey: {3-Spades}{3-Hearts}
Reagan Silber: {a-Spades}{6-Hearts}

Ivey was ahead with his flopped set against the pair and gutshot of Silber. However, the {4-Hearts} river completed Silber's straight and he doubled up leaving Ivey with just over two big blinds.

Sergi Reixach

Action picked up on the turn in a pot between Chad Eveslage and Sergi Reixach. The board showed {a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and Reixach bet 60,000 into a pot of about 150,000. Eveslage check-called.

The river came the {7-Diamonds} and Eveslage checked again. Reixach now bet 210,000, Eveslage thought for a bit and folded.

"You picking on Chad?" asked a tablemate.

"I'm pretty sure he's one every one against me," said Eveslage.

"No, you won that one," pointed out Reixach.

Regardless, this one went Reixach's way.

Dimov Has All the Jacks

Level 12 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Ognyan Dimov
Ognyan Dimov

Ognyan Dimov raised from middle position and only Freddy Deeb came along with a call from the big blind.

The flop came {3-Spades}{9-Hearts}{j-Hearts}. Action checked through on the flop.

On the {j-Spades} turn, Deeb now led into Dimov for 50,000 and Dimov called.

The river brought the {2-Diamonds}, Deeb now slowed down and checked. Dimov bet 250,000.

After thinking for about a minute, Deeb began to talk. "You got it? Maybe you got me, I guess, I don't know. But why 250?"

Deeb eventually made the call and was given the explanation. Dimov showed {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} for quads.

"That's why," said Deeb as Dimov scooped the pot.

Lonis Doubles Through Ivey

Level 12 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Jesse Lonis
Jesse Lonis

Jessie Lonis raised from middle position and two callers joined the pot, Sergi Reixach on the button and Phil Ivey in the big blind.

The flop was {4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{9-Spades}, Ivey checked to Lonis who continued for 50,000. Reixach made the fold.

Ivey asked Lonis to lift his arms so he could see his stack. With about 190,000 behind in Lonis' stack, Ivey put his opponent all in. Lonis quickly called.

Lonis: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}
Ivey {j-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

Looking for help, Ivey saw the {2-Hearts} hit the turn, reducing his outs even further. The {j-Spades} river was too little, too late, and Lonis secured the double.

Daan Mulders opened from under the gun to 30,000 and was immediately three-bet by Koray Aldemir to 75,000. Action folded all the way back to Mulders who made the call.

The flop brought the {k-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and Mulders checked in flow to Aldemir, who bet 45,000. Mulders called.

On the {8-Spades} turn, Mulders checked again and Aldemir ramped up the pressure with a bet of 170,000. Mulders called once more and took the hand to the river.

The final card was the {k-Spades}, putting the paired board in play. Mulders checked one final time and Aldemir eyed his opponent's stack. Aldemir fired in the final bullet, all in, 330,000 effective. Mulders folded fairly quickly and Aldemir won without a showdown.

Ryan Riess

Action picked up with both Johan Guilbert and Ryan Riess all in preflop and cards were on their back.

Ryan Riess: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}
Johan Guilbert: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}

Looking for help, Riess found it with the {a-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} flop that had Guilbert drawing to a single out.

The {8-Hearts} turn and {4-Spades} river didn't improve Guilbert and Riess took down the pot with the double.

"Is that how you won the Main Event?" asked Joe McKeehen.

"Yes sir," replied Riess as he stacked his chips.

Wong Spins it Up

Level 10 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Jerry Wong
Jerry Wong

Action picked up in a three-way pot with Jerry Wong all in for a few big blinds. He'd have to beat both Shaun Deeb and Mikita Badziakouski to stay alive.

The flop showed {q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{a-Spades} and Badziakouski checked from the blinds and Deeb checked the button.

On the turn {9-Clubs}, both players checked once again.

On the river {j-Clubs}, Badziakouski checked and Deeb put out a bet of 52,000 which caused Badziakouski to fold.

Wong stood up expecting to be beat when he flipped his {k-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}, Deeb only had {k-Clubs}{5-Clubs} himself, though, and Wong survived.


On the very next hand, Wong got it all in again from early position, now with 75,000 in his stack. Action folded all the way to Alexandros Theologis in the big blind who thought for about 30 seconds before making the call.

Alexandros Theologis: {k-Clubs}{9-Spades}
Jerry Wong: {a-Spades}{8-Diamonds}

"What a slow roll," needled Shaun Deeb.

The flop came {k-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{5-Hearts} and had Wong in trouble.

"A six would be a good sweat," said Wong.

The {8-Clubs} is all he would get, adding a couple of more outs.

The {8-Spades} was one of those out and Wong doubled up his recently tripled stack.

"Did it the hard way," said another tablemate.
