Ivey + Aces = Winner

Phil Ivey made it 16,000 to play from early position and got called by Bingjian Wu. A flop of {7-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} brought a continuation bet of 23,000 by Ivey and another call by Wu.

When Ivey bet 55,000 at the {8-Hearts} on the turn, Wu tanked before calling. The river brought the {4-Diamonds} and an all in bet by Ivey, forcing Wu to put his tournament life on the line. Wu tanked again before making the call. Ivey showed {A-Hearts}{A-Spades} and Wu was eliminated. Ivey is now near 900,000.

IVEY HAS JOINED THE MILLION CHIP CLUB!
07-11-2009 , 09:40 PM
The average stack is 400k. Hellmuth still has plenty of chips to make a run at this if he can put together a hot streak.

How Ivey got over a million:

Ivey Eliminates Graydon
We picked this hand up on the turn with a board of 9c5hQh7c.

Michael Graydon checked the action to Phil Ivey who moved all in. Graydon made the call for his last 106,000 and showed Ad9d for second pair, putting him way behind Ivey's KdKc.

When the river brought the 7s, Graydon found no help and made his way to the rail. Ivey has now joined the million chip club.

Hellmuth bluffed off like 300k chips in the first 30 minutes, and has been treading water ever since.

07-11-2009 , 09:54 PM

07-11-2009 , 09:58 PM
Dan Harrington approaching 900k. Really hoping this keeps up and we end up with a mix of "TV Pros" and known internet players going deep.

All Aboard The Ivey Train

Phil Ivey has chipped himself up nicely and now sits at 1.2 million.

In a recent hand Ivey fired 55,000 on the turn and 120,000 on the river on a board of {9-Clubs}{6-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}. His opponent, David Watkinson gave it up on the river and Ivey takes it down.
