Ivey Eliminated on Soft Bubble

Nick Vazquez

Level 18 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Farid Jattin raised to 175,000 in the cutoff, and Phil Ivey moved all in from the small blind. Jattin quickly called, and the players waited for a hand at another table to complete. Once it was finished, they exposed their hands.

Phil Ivey: A♠K♠K♦8♣ All in
Farid Jattin: Q♠Q♦J♠J♥

The runout of A♣J♣2♥2♣5♦ was bad news for Ivey, as aces up went down to the jacks full of Jattin.

Richard Gryko and Alex Foxen were heads up on the 10♣6♠A♣ flop. Gryko checked from the big blind before Foxen bet 240,000. Gryko called to the K♥ turn, where Foxen sized up to 375,000 after using a time extension.

Gryko tossed in another call, after which the 8♠ river was checked down. Gryko showed K♣9♠7♥7♣ for a straight to the ten, and Foxen's cards hit the muck in defeat.

Level 18 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

It folded to Michael Duek in the small blind, who raised to 150,000. Duek only had 120,00 behind, and was put all in by Alex Foxen in the big blind. Duek made a quick call, revealing the cards.

Michael Duek: A♦K♥9♦7♣ All in
Alex Foxen: A♣Q♥9♥6♦

Foxen flopped a flush draw on 5♥3♦A♥ for some extra outs. The 8♠ turn removed some outs for Foxen as a six would make Duek a straight, and the 3♣ river saw Duek's ace-king hold for a double-up.

"Go back to your tables, nits!" Duek yelled to the gathered onlookers as he stacked up his chips.

Level 17 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Scott Seiver raised to 140,000 under the gun, only Joni Jouhkimainen called in the small blind.

The flop was Q♥9♠7♠ and Jouhkimainen bet enough to cover Seiver's stack. Seiver called, and the cards were revealed.

Scott Seiver: K♥K♠6♥5♦
Joni Jouhkimainen: J♦J♣10♦8♠

The turn A♥ and river A♣ were safe for Seiver, so he scored the double right before dinner break.

Level 17 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Biao Ding limped in from the hijack before Youness Barakat raised to 180,000 on the button. The action folded back to Ding, who made the call.

Both players checked the Q♦Q♥J♥ flop, but when Ding checked for a second time on the Q♠ turn, Barakat put out a bet of 115,000, which Ding called.

The dealer produced the K♠ river, and when Ding checked for a third time, Barakat wisely checked back. Ding rolled over Q♣J♦10♦9♠ for a turned four-of-a-kind, and Barakat returned his cards to the dealer face down.

Farid Jattin raised to 140,000 from under the gun, and only John Riordan called on the button.

Jattin checked the A♠A♣5♣ flop, prompting Riordan to bet 40,000, just one big blind. Jattin decided the pot should be bigger and check-raised to 270,000.

Riordan didn't stick around and almost instantly returned his cards to the dealer.
