That's where the 2-7 Lowball event is running, and it's heads up for the bracelet. One of the players left is relative unknown John Monnette, while the other one is slightly more commonplace in the poker world. Phil Ivey is on the verge of capturing his sixth gold bracelet, now with a commanding lead over his opponent.
From what we understand, a number of players have hefty side action with Ivey about winning a bracelet this year. Every five minutes or so, someone comes up to the media area and nervously inquires about Ivey. Over in the Mixed Game room, dozens of players are following along via Twitter, Facebook, online broadcasts, word of mouth, and any other means they can find to scrounge up information, paying more attention to Ivey's game than their own.
Once that thing wraps up, we expect the quality of play to shoot up dramatically.
