Phil Ivey Busts Just Short of the Money

On Day 1c, Phil Ivey was one of the last players to enter the tournament with a starting stack of 40,000. Almost straight away, the WPT Live Updates reported that he three-bet jammed for 42,500 from the cutoff with the A10 and the original raiser from the hijack called with the QQ. Ivey was way behind but got luck after the board ran out 1075A5 to give him two pair and the double.

Ivey made it to Day 2 and was nearing the money in Level 16 (4,000/8,000/8,000). Hand-for-hand play was in effect, and on Hand #7 there was around 50,000 in the pot and a flop of -js6s4c] when Ivey got his stack of 158,000 all in from the cutoff with the AJ only to see Eduardo Pereira roll over the KK. Both the turn and river bricked and Ivey fell a couple spots short of making the money.

Money Bubble Bursts

In the same level, two more players followed Ivey out the door in the same hand, meaning two players busted on the bubble and split the minimum payout. In the first, David Dowdy and Sergio Aido saw a flop of 876 and got all of the chips in the middle. Dowdy held the J8 for top pair but was in dire straits against Aido’s 66. The set held and Dowdy hit the rail.

Simultaneously, Samy Dubonnet got their extreme short stack all in preflop holding pocket jacks and was up against the king-nine suited of Daniel Reijmer. A king on the flop and a nine on the turn sealed the deal for Reijmer, and Dubonnet joined Dowdy on the rail as joint bubble boys.

Day 3 of the tournament will take place at Noon local time on Thursday with just 71 players remaining. Each is guaranteed $35,480 in prize money, but each will be looking to make the final table of six where they’ll make at least $524,500.

Additionally, the $111,000 WPT Alpha8 for One Drop will take place July 14-16.
