More Ivey Firing

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

An opponent checked the {J-Clubs}{4-Spades}{2-Diamonds} flop before Phil Ivey fired 4,000. His opponent made the call, and the two players saw the {10-Diamonds} come out on the turn. After his opponent checked again, Ivey fired 7,000. The player gave it up, and Ivey won the pot.

Updated Chip Counts

Alvarado vs. Watson vs. Jazayeri

Three players created a pot of about 4,000 and saw a flop of {5-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{8-Clubs}. Mike Watson was first to act in middle position and put out a bet of 1,700, which was called by AC Alvarado and Sean Jazayeri in the cutoff and button respectively.

Watson proceeded to slow down with a check on the {2-Diamonds} turn, which opened the door for the big-stacked Alvarado to bet 5,000. Jazayeri quickly got out of the way and Watson followed suit.

Ivey Drops Another

With 5,300 in the pot and a board reading {J-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{K-Clubs}, Phil Ivey checked to Elie Payan, who bet 2,800. Ivey made the call and then checked for a second time on the {4-Spades} river, prompting Payan to put out a bet of 7,200. Ivey thought for a few moments before making the call, but mucked when Payan rolled over {K-Spades}{Q-Spades} for two pair.

Harris Attacking Ivey

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

From the hijack seat, Phil Ivey raised to 800. A couple spots over, action fell on Eric Harris on the button. He reraised to 2,200. PLay folded back to Ivey, and he made the call.

The flop came down {Q-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts}, and Ivey checked. Harris fired 3,250, and Ivey gave it up.

On the next hand, Ivey opened from middle position to 1,000 before action folded over to Harris. He three-bet Ivey again, this time to 2,700. Play folded back to Ivey, and he gave it up.

Losing to Ten High Not Such a Thrill for Failla

Will "The Thrill" Failla raised to 700 under the gun and was called by both blinds. Two checks on the {Q-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{A-Spades} flop put action on Failla, and he bet 1,525. Only Gael Duchesne called from the small blind and the {Q-Spades} turned.

Duchesne proceeded to check-call a bet of 2,000 before both players checked the {4-Clubs} river. Duchesne unconfidently showed {10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for a missed flush, but it was good as Failla double-checked his cards and sent them to the muck. "I missed," Failla admitted with a "I-should-have-bet-the-river" look on his face.
