Tough Seat Draw
Marc Daubach from the UK has over 100k in chips but he didn’t get the greatest table draw in history. Sat to his right is Talal Shakerchi, who finished day 1a as second in chips, and sat to his left is Phil Ivey who, well, is Ivey. He seems to be taking it in his stride though.
The three of them had got to a flop of and had all checked. A turn card of was checked to big blind Ivey who bet 4,000. Shakerchi folded and Daubach made the call. The river was checked down and Ivey showed his missed turn gut-shot draw with while Daubach was good with his .
On the next hand Shakerchi opened for 3,500 and Daubach called from the button. Ivey and the big blind left them to it and they checked down to the river on a final board showing . Shakerchi just mucked his cards and Daubach won the pot with unseen cards.
