Ivey Knocks Out Polk

Level 14 : 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante
Doug Polk
Doug Polk

From the under-the-gun plus one position it was Doug Polk who moved all in for right around 1.7 million chips. The action folded to Phil Ivey in the small blind and he asked for a count, but called before the dealer was done stacking down the chips. Tobias Reinkemeier folded from the big blind and the showdown went as following.

Ivey: {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}
Polk: {A-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

The flop brought {5-Hearts}{8-Spades}{J-Clubs} and Polk hit a pair, but needed a lot more to double up. On the turn the {6-Spades} hit and nothing changed, the river was the {7-Spades} and Ivey hit a straight. Polk's hand was mucked and Ivey raked in the chips. We are now down to 16 players and there will be a full redraw for the final two tables.

Diamonds are Forever

Level 14 : 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante

Tom Hall raised to 250,000 from under the gun, Christoph Vogelsang defended his big blind, and the flop was all diamonds; {2-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}. Both players checked.

The pair both checked after a fourth diamond - the {5-Diamonds} - fell on the turn, and the {10-Hearts} completed the board. Vogelsang bet 350,000, Hall called, and Vogelsang showed {q-Diamonds}{10-Spades} for a flush.

Hall flashed {a-Spades}{10-Diamonds} for a lower flush, then mucked.

WSOP 2014: Haralabos Voulgaris On Why The One Drop's Field Is Smaller

Level 14 : 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante

Frank Op de Woerd talks to Haralabos Voulgaris on the rail of The Big One for One Drop. Voulgaris played two years ago, but sat this one out. We talk about why he's not playing this year, why the field is smaller compared to two years ago, what he thinks about Erick Lindgren winning his seat and getting patched up by DraftKings.
