Phil Ivey Eliminated in 9th Place ($247,130)
Level 19
: Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Joao Vieira raised to 300,000 in the cutoff and Phil Ivey three-bet shoved all in for 4,375,000 in the small blind. Isaac Haxton asked for a count from the big blind and then called. Vieira quickly folded and the two remaining hands were tabled.
Phil Ivey: A♦Q♦
Isaac Haxton: A♠K♥
Ivey was staring in the face of elimination when the 8♠7♥6♣ flop hit the felt, leaving him looking for a queen. The 4♠ on the turn provided a potential chop, but the J♣ on the river was no help. Ivey was the first elimination at the final table, and it marks his first recorded cash at the 2025 WSOP.
