Hand #14 - Ivey All In

[user66118]

Steven Begleiter has the button. Jeff Shulman puts in another oversized raise to 1,250,000, and this time he finds some action. It comes from Phil Ivey who sends a long stare across the felt before announcing an all-in re-raise. A murmur of nervous cheers and muted applause works its way through the audience.

A few seats over, Joe Cada asks for a count, and the dealer cuts down Ivey's stack of 8,655,000. Cada waits for the exact amount before reluctantly folding out of the way. Shulman makes a quick decision, returning his cards to the muck and sending a nice chip-up pot over to Mr. Ivey.

He's up to 10,175,000.

Hand #11 - Limp and Re-raise Works for Moon

James Akenhead has the button. Action passes to Darvin Moon, who limps in from the cutoff. Phil Ivey completes the small blind, bringing action to big blind Kevin Schaffel. He makes a raise of 900,000 on top. Moon springs into action almost immediately, putting in a re-raise to 3.0 million straight. Ivey's caught in the middle and chooses to abandon his hand.

Moon has his right hand against the side of his face and is staring down at the felt while Schaffel contemplates what to do. Ultimately Schaffel decides not to tangle with the biggest stack at the table and mucks his hand.

Hand #10 - Cada Convinces Ivey

Darvin Moon has the button. Joe Cada raises to 750,000 from middle position, and Phil Ivey decides to play ball from the big blind. Flicking in the calling chips, he and Cada go heads-up to the flop.

The dealer rolls out {K-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds}, and Ivey knocks the table. Cada gives it a good think-over before sliding out a bet of 1,000,000 straight. You can probably picture the blank stare that he gets from Ivey, but Phil sends his cards back to the dealer, and the pot goes to Cada.

Hand #8 - Three-Bet From Moon

Antoine Saout has the button. Under the gun, James Akenhead gives the table a long stare before opening with a raise to 775,000. In the big blind, Darvin Moon peeks at his cards, then over at Akenhead. He quickly announces a re-raise to 1,800,000, drawing a big sigh from the short-stacked Akenhead. Without enough chips to play poker after the flop, Akenhead eventually kicks in his cards and elects to wait for a better spot.

Akenhead - 5,636,000
Moon - 59,945,000
