Phil Ivey

Earlier this level Phil Ivey's stack was starting to dip a little bit. He was down to roughly 30,000 chips. With blinds at 600 and 1,200 he didn't have a ton of room to work.

Things are looking better for Ivey now after eliminating an opponent. We didn't see the action, but Ivey's pocket kings {K-Spades}

{K-Clubs}

held against his opponent's pocket nines {9-Diamonds}

, when the board came {7-Clubs}

. When the chips were added to Ivey's stack, his count increased to a robust 85,000.
