Let's be positive, guys. Ivey has still 35 BBs left. One double up, and everything looks brighter again.

How about a guy named Akenhead? Maybe then Bayer aspirin would become a big sponsor.

Brothers In Arms...

Adam and Dan Bilzerian are currently sitting at the same table, which means the floor is supposed to be notified if you're seated at the same table as an immediate family member.

Their table is just about to break anyway however.

You guys really should distinguish 'pro' with 'name pro'.

Of the last two ME Fnal tables 14 of the 18 players were professional poker players.

Raymond Rahme, Jerry Yang, Dennis Phillips and Darus Suharto were the only amateur players from the last two years to make the final table.

This year will be exactly the same, the hope is that some well recognised professionals make the final table as well.

New Chip Leader. Akenhead Breaches 3 Million Mark.

James Akenhead has doubled up to become the first player over 3 million chips.

Eracles Panayiotou raised to 26,000 from the cutoff and Akenhead made it 80,000 from the small blind, Panayiotou called.

The flop was {Q-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {3-Spades} and Akenhead bet 130,000, Panayiotou called and they saw a {8-Clubs} turn. Akenhead bet 190,000 and Panayiotou raised to 430,000.

Akenhead called this time before checking the {K-Clubs} river. Panayioutou set the Brit all in for his remaining 800,000 or so and Akenhead immediately called with the nuts, {K-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} for top set. Panayiotou's bluff with {6-Clubs} {4-Spades} was caught completely cold
