Ivey Eliminated

[user4144]

(Omaha)

November Niner Phil Ivey will be jetting back to his hotel room; he ran middle set into top set and the nut flush draw, and failed to find that one out.

Use the Fours

[user4144]

(Hold'em)

Jerome Bradpiece has dropped to 4,500. He called a three-bet push with {K-?}

, catching his opponent 'at it' with {Q-?}

. Sadly, his foe's misstep was rewarded as a cheeky four sneaked onto the river.

Paint it Black

[user4144]

Prior to the break, we lost Andy Black. He had {10-Hearts}

on a

flop, but was unable to unravel pocket aces which somehow held.

Allie Prescott has just managed to triple up in a three-way pot against Men 'The Master' Nguyen and an unknown third party.

(Hold'em)
Prescott opened the pot with a raise to 900 and a player in the cutoff seat moved all in for approximately 3,400. Action then folded around the table to Nguyen, who four-bet enough to put Prescott all in. Prescott reluctantly tossed the rest of his chips into the middle, but as he would soon find out, it was the right move:

Prescott: {A-Diamonds}

Unknown:

Nguyen:

A king on the {6-Clubs}

flop put Prescott in the lead, and he'd never look back as the turn and river brought running deuces to complete the board.

After the hand, Prescott stacked up just over 10,000 in chips while Nguyen dropped to a still-healthy 26,700.
