Phil Ivey Eliminated in 6th Place ($394,531)
Level 28
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Phil Ivey limped from the hijack, prompting the button and small blind to follow suit and limp too. Michael Duek wanted to play a bigger pot, though, and raised to 1,300,000 from the big blind. Only Ivey called, and the two saw a flop.
The flop came down Q♥4♥9♣, and Duek continued with a bet large enough to commit Ivey to being all in. Ivey called immediately, and the cards were turned over.
Phil Ivey: K♥K♣4♠4♦ 
Michael Duek: A♥A♣10♥2♠
Ivey was ahead, having flopped bottom set, but Duek had plenty of ways to catch up.
The turn 10♣ kept Ivey in the lead, but the river J♥ wasn't so friendly to him, giving Duek the nut flush and sending Ivey to the rail.
