Cajelais Gets There

With 1,300 in the middle and a flop of {3-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{2-Clubs}, a raising war broke out between Erik Cajelais and Etienne Bargibant that resulted in the former being all in for 15,300.

Showdown
Bargibant: {K-Spades}{3-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
Cajelais: {A-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades}{J-Clubs}

Bargibant was ahead with two pair, but Cajelais flopped a wrap. The {5-Spades} turn completed the Canadian's said draw, while the {9-Hearts} river secured him the double.

Ivey Busts on Second Hand

As we headed out to the tournament field, Phil Ivey passed us headed in the opposite direction. He came from Table 19 so we made our way over and discovered that Ivey, who had late registered for the tournament, busted on just the second hand he played to McLean Karr.

According to Karr, Ivey raised to 600 in the hand and received a call from the cutoff. Karr then three-bet to 2,000, just Ivey called, and then the two got the money in on the flop. Ivey held a flush draw with {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{3-Spades}, but wouldn't get there as Karr's {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{K-Spades}{Q-Clubs} proved victorious.
