November Nine Final Table
Day: 1
"You're not going to run a marathon, stop in the 25th mile, then come back and run a sprint. Personally, I think [the delay] is retarded." he said.
Play will resume at 9pm local time. The players will come back to the following stacks:
Darvin Moon: 41,250,000
Phil Ivey: 14,900,000
Steve Begleiter: 38,100,000
Eric Buchman: 54,725,000
Joe Cada: 10,700,000
Antoine Saout: 28,725,000
Jeff Shulman: 7,175,000
They are seated in the stands right behind Ivey front row. Both are leading all the Ivey cheers decked out in their Ivey gear from head to toe. It's an awesome site to see and they are really pulling hard for him.
The dealer runs the first three board cards: . Begleiter slowly checks, and Buchman isn't backing down. He makes it 3,200,000 to stay in, and Begs lets him have the pot.
Buchman - 55,175,000
Begleiter - 37,200,000
Could it be that Ivey is starting to get a read on his opponents after five plus hours of play, or is the deck starting to break even? With 16 million in chips, Ivey has more chips than he has had at any time during this final table.
With the dinner break less than ten minutes away, it will be interesting to see how the break effects Ivey's newfound momentum.
