Phil Ivey Eliminated

Yori Epskamp

Level 19 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

As relayed to PokerNews by Matt Stout, Phil Ivey was eliminated following a series of hands. Earlier, Stout doubled through Ivey holding KxKx10x4x rainbow against Ivey's Ax9x8x5x with diamonds and spades.

The flop was 7♦4♥3♥ and Stout got his remaining stack in the middle. The turn 7♥ and river K♦ kept Stout in the lead from start to finish, leaving Ivey with a little over 100,000.

Shortly after, Ivey was all in again, this time with the 10♥7♣6♣5♣ against the A♣K♣K♠7♠ of Scott Eskenazi. The QxJx10x flop with two spades left Ivey all but drawing dead, and neither the turn nor river changed that.

Najeem Ajez limped in early position and Alex Loyer raised to 40,000 next to act. The action folded back around to Ajez who made the call.

The dealer spread a flop of J♣8♦3♥, and Ajez check-raised the 40,000 continuation bet all-in, and Loyer quickly called off his 154,000 stack.

Alex Loyer: K♣K♦7♣6♥ All in
Najeem Ajez: Q♥J♥8♣8♠

Loyer was out-flopped by the set of eights from Ajez and couldn't find one of the remaining kings as the board completed with the 9♦ turn, and 6♣ river.
