Level 9 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

When we reached the feature table, Phil Ivey had a three-bet of 35,000 sitting in front of him. Marvin Rettenmaier cold four-bet jammed for 145,000 out of the big blind, the original raiser folded, and the action was back on Ivey.

He checked his cards a second time, then sat back in his seat. He shot Rettenmaier a disapproving glance, then turned his attention back to his own stack. The nine-time bracelet winner cut enough chips out of his stack to make the call, slammed them back into the stack, and folded.

Level 9 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

You're more likely to find Gus Hansen and Ben "bttech86" Tollerene playing at the same table on the virtual felt, but today's tournament was special as the two online legends squared off in the live realm right here at the World Series of Poker.

According to Jason Koon, the dynamic duo recently went up against one another that saw one of them hit the rail. It began when Tollerene opened for 7,500 under the gun and two players flatted. Hansen then three-bet to 34,500 from the small blind, Tollerene four-bet to 90,000, the two limpers folded and the "Great Dane" made the call.

After the flop fell , Hansen checked and Tollerene bet 80,000. Hansen tanked for five minutes before calling and saying, "I'm sorry."

Hansen then checked the turn and snap-called when Tollerene moved all in. Hansen tabled the for a flopped set, and Tollerene was drawing dead with the . The meaningless river was run out and Tollerene was bounced from the tournament.
