Jeremy Ausmus limped the small blind, Ben Tollerene isolated to 340,000 from the big blind, and Ausmus called.

On the 9♥4♦3♦ flop, Tollerene continued for 200,000 before Ausmus check-raised to 600,000 and Tollerene called.

Ausmus slowed down a check on the K♣ turn before Tollerene put out a bet of 800,000, and Ausmus called.

On the K♠ river, Ausmus took some time before he checked and Tollerene quickly checked behind. Ausmus tabled K♦9♦ for a full house as Tollerene mucked and Ausmus scooped a big one.

Phil Ivey joined the feature table and was seating to the immediate right of Martin Kabrhel. "What's up, buddy," Ivey said as he took a seat.

Ivey joined in the small blind so he got to wait a few hands before joining the action. "And now we can play with the Phillip boy," Kabrhel cheered.

Unfortunately for Kabrhel, Ivey proceeded to fold the next several hands. "I thought it would be a tougher table with Phillip!"

Kabrhel then said Ivey looked like he was happy. "Is it because you get to play with me?" This got a grin out of even Ivey.
