The turn was the {3-Diamonds}, and Cheong checked. Boucher stayed on the gas with a bet of 14,600, which Cheong called.

The river was the {K-Clubs}, and both players checked.

Ivey Eliminated By Katchalov

Phil Ivey
Phil Ivey

Right before the start of the break we lost Phil Ivey. Eugene Katchalov, who took all the chips from the 8-time WSOP bracelet winner, explained to us what happened.

Katchalov raised from the cutoff with {A-}{Q-} and Ivey defended his big blind.

The flop came down {A-}{J-}{10-}, rainbow, and Katchalov bet 2,500. Ivey went on to check-raise to 6,000, after which Katchalov put in 15,000. Ivey, who started the hand with around 50,000, moved all in and Katchalov called.

Ivey showed {8-}{9-}, and was looking to complete his straight draw. The turn and river both brought blanks, and that was it. Katchalov is cruising with 129 players remaining in this event.

Conte Takes a Bite Out of the Grinder's Stack

Three players created a preflop pot of 14,000 and saw a flop of {8-Spades}{2-Spades}{6-Diamonds}. The hijack checked, Maxime Conte bet 7,500 from the cutoff, and Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi called from the button. After the hijack folded, the dealer burned and turned the {8-Hearts}, which both players checked.

Conte then checked the {9-Clubs} river and watched Mizrachi toss out three grey T5,000 chips for a bet of 15,000. Conte struggled with what to do, but eventually he put in the call and was glad he did as Mizrachi sent his cards to the muck. A winning hand must be shown, so Conte tabled {4-Clubs}{4-Spades} and was pushed the pot.

Meanwhile, 1998 World Series of Poker Main Event champ Scotty Nguyen was eliminated the next table over.

Cohen Takes Some From Mercier

In a battle between Miami Dolphins fans Sam Cohen just took some chips from Jason Mercier. Mercier raised from the button to 2,400 and Sam Cohen defended her big blind.

The flop came down {5-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} and Cohen check-called 2,200. On the turn the {K-Diamonds} hit and both players checked. The river brought the {2-Diamonds} and casually Cohen tossed out 5,100. Mercier took a good look at the board and called.

Cohen tabled {J-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} and took down the pot.

Reilly Plays The Hero

Liv Boeree just called us over and pointed to Timothy Reilly. "You just missed a very interesting hand," she said and Reilly explained to us what happened.

Eric Sichere raised from early position to 2,600 and Reilly three-bet to 5,400 from middle position. The action was folded back to Sichere, and he made the call.

The flop came down {3-}{8-}{9-} with two diamonds and Sichere check-called 3,200. On the turn a {7-} hit and Sichere checked again. Reilly fired out 3,200 and his opponent decided to min-raise. Reilly called the extra 3,600 and the river was the {6-Diamonds}.

There were now three diamonds and a four card straight on board. Sichere bet 12,000, and Reilly made the call with just {3-Clubs}{2-Clubs}. Sichere showed {K-}{J-Diamonds} and lost. Reilly's call was very impressive and he's now up to 119,000 chips.
