Phil Ivey Closing in on 11th Bracelet; Rast Playing for the Poker Hall of Fame?

Jon Sofen

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Phil Ivey could make history Thursday at the $50,000 Poker Players Championship if he were to take down the bracelet, which would be his first title at the World Series of Poker (WSOP) since 2014.

The widely accepted poker G.O.A.T. is one of three players — Johnny Chan and Doyle Brunson are the others — tied for second all-time with 10 WSOP bracelets. Phil Hellmuth, with 16 titles, is the record holder. But there could be just one player sitting in second place within the next 24 hours.

Calum Grant

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

The hijack made it 1,000 and Nick Schulman called from the button. The latter quickly folded to a bet of 1,000 on the A♥10♦3♣ flop.

On a adjacent table, an early position player limped in before the hijack made it 1,200. Chris Brewer three-bet to 4,400 and only the hijack called.
