Level 14 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

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.
