Phil Ivey Eliminated
Phil Ivey Eliminated
Phil Ivey, the man at the top of everyone's list, had trouble getting things going at the ESPN Featured Table, and now he's found himself on the outside looking in.

The slide began a few minutes ago when Ivey had made the nut flush on the turn. His lone opponent checked, and Ivey bet and was called. The river put a pair on the board. Ivey was checked to once again, and he bet enough to put his man all in. The bet was quickly called, and Ivey was shown a full house to knock him all the way back to 10,000.

Following that, he lost a number of small pots and got chipped down to his last couple thousand chips. On his final hand, he called a preflop raise, went all in on the flop, and was called by a player with {A-?} {K-?}. The board ran out without an ace or a king, but Ivey couldn't beat the high cards, and he headed to the rail shortly before dinner break, concluding his 2008 WSOP.
