Only one poker player in history — Phil Hellmuth — has reached the 11 World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet plateau. On Monday, Phil Ivey could join one of poker's most exclusive clubs.
The for-now 10-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner is currently sitting on a large stack with five players remaining in Event #42: $100,000 High Roller No-Limit Hold'em, which slated to play down to a winner tonight.
As it stands, Hellmuth is the record holder with 16 bracelets, followed by Ivey, Johnny Chan, and Doyle Brunson tied at 10.
The $100k was originally scheduled to wrap up with the final table on Tuesday, airing on PokerGO, but PokerGO called an audible and decided to livestream the final table tonight. At the time of publishing, the remaining players were on a dinner break and will come back at 7 p.m. to play it down to a winner, who will receive $1,897,363. Coverage on PokerGO will resume at 8 p.m., along with PokerNews' live reporting updates.
With the blinds at 60,000/120,000, Ivey currently sits at 9,075,000, approximately 75 big blinds, good for second in chips. Aleksejs Ponakovs, an online poker crusher, is the chip leader at 14,450,000 and has been dominating play during Monday's Day 2 session.

Action folded to Luciano Angarolla in the cutoff and he opened to 6,500 only to see the player on the button three-bet to 17,000. The blinds got out of the way and Angarolla called to send the two players heads-up to the flop.
Angarolla checked on the 
flop as did the button player. The 
turn saw Angarolla lead out for 21,000. After some consideration the player on the button made the call.
Both players checked through the 
river and Angarolla showed down 
for the turned two pair, which beat out his opponent's 
to scoop the large pot and send Angarolla's stack shooting up above 100,000.

Action folded to David Levy on the button who moved all in. The player in the small blind re-jammed his larger stack and the big bind got out of the way to put Levy at risk.
David Levy: 
Small Blind Player:
Levy was behind and would need help to survive. That help was quick to come, arriving on the 
flop. The 
turn and river changed nothing, ensuring that Levy gets to keep his seat for the time being.

Soeren Baekgaard Hansen hit a fortunate river to double up earlier, but he just found out that a little luck goes both ways.
WSOP circuit ring winner Clint Mooney was all in for 65,000 with 
and up against Hansen's 
.
"That's the hand I won my circuit ring with," Mooney said when he saw Hansen's nines.
The 
board was harmless for Hansen, until the fell on the river. Mooney leaped from his seat and clapped his hands together while a stunned Hansen could only wait for the stacks to be counted down.
He couldn't cover Mooney and joined a long list of players to head for the exit after dinner break.

Perry Altensey moved all in for 23,000 from middle position and was called by a player in late position. One seat over from the caller, another late position player re-jammed for 67,000. Action folded back around to the late position caller, who, after some deliberation, folded.
Perry Altensey:
Late Position Player: 
Altensey was at risk and behind but the 
flop was an interesting one, improving the late position player to a set but also giving Altensey an open ended straight draw as well as the possibility of a backdoor flush.
The turn was gin for Altensey, who now had broadway and would only need to avoid the board pairing on the river to secure a triple up. The river was clean for Altensey, who in the space of one hand moved from being a shorty with less than ten big blinds to sitting on a fairly comfortable stack.
