Ivey Picks Up Some Chips

Adam Lamers

Level 19 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Phil Ivey raised to 300,000 in the cutoff and Thomas Boivin defended from the big blind. The flop came K♥Q♦3♣ and Boivin check-called a bet of 200,000 from Ivey.

The turn brought the 5♥ and Boivin checked again. Ivey counted out a bet of 700,000 and Boivin instantly sent his cards into the muck.

Level 19 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Vinny Lingham raised to 400,000 in the hijack, and only Ben Heath called, defending his big blind.

On a flop of 5♥4♥Q♥, Heath check-called another bet of 400,000.

The turn 8♦ slowed action down as both players checked; however, more was to come from the river.

The dealer revealed the 4♦, and Heath led out for 1,100,000. Action was back on Lingham, and when he raised the minimum amount of 2,200,000, Heath was visibly dismayed. Heath used one time bank before reluctantly throwing in a chip to signal a call.

Lingham turned over A♥J♥ for the flopped nut flush, and Heath mucked his hand.

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♦ All in
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.

Level 20 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Andrew Lichtenberger and Ben Heath were heads-up in the blinds with around 1,000,000 in the middle. The board read A♥Q♣6♠10♣ and Lichtenberger started with a check. Heath counted out a large bet of 750,000 and Lichtenberger called.

The river was the 8♦ and Lichtenberger quickly checked again. Heath pushed out a bet of 2,800,000, leaving just around 800,000 behind. Lichtenberger went deep into the tank for over two minutes, using four of his time banks, and ultimately decided to fold.

Level 20 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Action folded to Joao Vieira on the button, who raised to 1,700,000, leaving roughly 900,000 behind. The small blind got out of the way, but Isaac Haxton moved all in from the big blind. Vieira put the rest of his chips in the middle, and he was the player at risk.

Joao Vieira: A♠4♠ All in
Isaac Haxton: Q♠Q♣

Vieira's dismay turned to joy in an instant as the dealer fanned out the A♣10♠2♥ flop.

The J♥ turn gave Haxton some hope, but the 3♣ river sealed the deal for Vieira.

Level 20 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Isaac Haxton raised to 425,000 in early position and Andrew Lichtenberger three-bet to 1,075,000 on the button. Joao Vieira four-bet to 2,400,000 from the big blind and Haxton five-bet jammed all in. Lichtenberger took a moment before letting his hand go and Vieira quickly called off his stack of 6,900,000.

Joao Vieira: A♠A♥ All in
Isaac Haxton: K♠K♣

It was a massive cooler that left Vieira on the heels of doubling up to a massive stack. The board ran out Q♣9♣8♥4♠6♥ and Vieira's pocket aces held on to leave Haxton with just five big blinds.
