Joe Cada has the button. Phi Ivey bumps it up to 1.25 million in early position. Both Begleiter and Cada seem to toy with a call or maybe more, but everyone yields to Ivey in the end.

Antoine Saout has the button. Eric Buchman is our first mover this hand, making it 1.25 million to go. Nobody calls.

Action definitely has lulled over the course of the last few orbits. But blinds are soon to go up; that should help push the action along.

Jeff Shulman has the button. Joe Cada raises to 1.25 million from the cutoff, and he gets a taker in the form of Phil Ivey, playing out of position from the small blind.

The board runs {8-Clubs}

with both players checking through the turn. On the river, Ivey leads out with a bet of 1.25 million, and Cada quickly calls with {K-Clubs}

. Ivey shows no emotion as he mucks his cards and sends another chunk of his chips over to his new nemesis.

Ivey is down to 8,600,000 after that slip.
