Phil Ivey Eliminated in 23rd Place ($21,413)
Level 19
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Robert Tanita opened to 70,000 from the button and Phil Ivey raised to 230,000 from the small blind. Tanita made the call.
The flop came K♥J♠5♠ and Ivey, who had a bit less than 500,000 behind, quickly got the rest of the chips against Tanita who covered him.
Phil Ivey: A♦A♣3♥2♦ 
Robert Tanita: A♠K♠K♣10♦
Ivey was in rough shape against Tanita who had top set with the nut-flush draw. He found no help when the rest of the board ran out 6♥6♣ and made his exit from the tournament area while Tanita extended his chip lead over the rest of the field.
