Ivey Eliminated for Good
Level 10
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
With about 13,000 in chips alread in the middle on the 
flop, Phil Ivey led with a bet of 7,000. Antonio Esfandiari raised to 100,000, which was enough to put the third player in the hand, Chris Moore, all in along with Ivey. Moore tank-folded, then Ivey tank-called.
Ivey showed the 
for a combo draw, looking for a seven or a club. Esfandiari held the 
for top and bottom pair.
The turn was the 
, giving Ivey more outs with any jack now giving him a straight as well. The river was the 
, though, and Ivey had missed. He was eliminated while Esfandiari vaulted up to 285,000 in chips. Ivey had already used his single allotted re-entry, so he will not be able to play this event anymore.

Somebody Try and Stop This Man!
Level 10
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
It's going to take a brave and lucky man to stop Igor Kurganov retaining his title. News reached us that it was HE who eliminated Paul Volpe.
Volpe got his chips in good with ace-king versus the ace-queen of Kurganov. The former was ahead all the way until the river where Kurganov made the nuts with a Broadway straight.
