Tim Baker

Level 20 : Limits 30,000/60,000, 0 ante

Blinds: 15,000-30,000
Limits: 30,000-60,000

On the first hand back from break, Phil Ivey raised the button and Jeremy Ausmus three-bet the small blind. Ivey called to see the 3♥5♦8♥ flop.

Ausmus bet and Ivey called for the K♦ to hit the turn. Ausmus bet again and Ivey called for his final 25,000.

Phil Ivey: 10♦9♣ All in
Jeremy Ausmus: Q♦10♠

Neither player had a pair, but Ausmus' queen-high had Ivey with one foot out the door.

Ivey couldn't find the nine he needed as the A♦ completed the board, and he became the ninth-place finisher in the event.
