A little while back, we featured an article called The Ivey Effect discussing how Phil Ivey influences the poker world like no one else. Well, just a moment ago there was another instance of that influence in effect.
One of the players at his table, Willie Tann, said to Ivey, "Hey Phil, when you're done can I have your hat?"
Ivey moved his headphones from his ears and perked his head up.
"When you're finished, can I have your hat?" Tann asked a second time.
Ivey looked confused for a second and then shrugged his shoulders and nodded.
"It's for a friend of mine, he'd really love it," said Tann.
Ivey smiled looking as though he was wondering why anyone would want his used Full Tilt Poker hat. Either way, he said it'd be fine. Tann then turned towards the rail behind him and yelled over to his friend that he was able to lock up the hat for him. The railbird looked simply amazed and was astonished at what was to come. Ivey smiled.
"He's one of your biggest fans," Tann said to Ivey.
A player moved all in from middle position for 2,025. Phil Ivey was in the small blind and reraised to 4,000, knocking the big blind out of the way in order to isolate against the all-in player. Ivey held the 
and his at-risk opponent the 
.
The board ran out 
and the two players chopped up the pot.
With my section upstairs whittled down to just the one table, I found myself watching online whiz Chris Moorman at the felt. A very quiet player at the table, he seemed fairly active without going over the top, raising once a round and putting in the occasional three bet from the blinds.
On one hand he raised to 1,400 preflop and another aggressive player called from the small blind. The flop rolled out 
and Moorman made a continuation bet of 2,400 which was subsequently called.
Both players checked the 
turn, and although he appeared tempted to fire a shot, Moorman checked the 
river. Much to his relief, his opponent announced "Ace high" and Moorman won the pot with 
{5s].
Moorman is currently going great guns with around 50,000 in chips.
In what looked like a big pot between Rui Cao and Javed Abrahams, the Frenchman fired out 6,000 on the 
flop. Abrahams check-called this bet then another 11,850 on the 
turn.
The river was the 
and Abrahams checked a third time, Cao reached deep and fired out 17,800 but again Abrahams made the call, though not until after some serious thinking.
Cao tapped the table and was forced to show 
and Abrahams turned over a winning non-heart pair of 
which brought a tap of the table from Phil Laak as well.
Rui Cao opened the pot to 1,550 from the cutoff seat, and Liv Boeree three-bet from the small blind. Cao called, and they went heads up to a 
flop. The action check-checked, and Boeree checked again on the raggy 
turn. Cao took his cue to bet 6,100 at the pot, and Boeree looked him up with the call.
That brought them to the 
river, and Cao's last 22,000 chips all went into the middle. That sent Boeree deep into the tank, and it would take several minutes before she quietly announced a call.
"Call?!" Cao asked, a bit surprised. Liv nodded, and Cao simply mucked his hand and stood up to leave. Boeree showed the 
to win the pot as Cao was already a few steps from his chair. The table called him back, though, as he had Boeree covered. Still, he's left with a remainder of just 3,800 in funny money to play with.
From 80,000 to less than four in just a half hour.
From under the gun, Bryn Kenney made it 1,400 to go and was called by Nico Behling in the big blind. The two players checked the 
flop to see the fall on the turn. Both players checked again and the fell on the river. Behling checked the final card and Kenney fired 3,200. Behling folded and Kenney won the pot.
Phil Hellmuth is out after three-betting his ace-seven into Praz Bansi's ace-queen. Hellmuth grinded on the short stack for the bulk of the day only to get it in on a three-outer. His day is done, out in 50th place.
Here's a couple hands from our recent venture over to Phil Ivey's table. We know it's not much, but we also know everyone's eats up Ivey coverage.
On the first hand we saw, Ivey raised to 1,500 from the cutoff seat and everyone folded. He picked up the blinds and antes.
On the next hand, Ivey was under the gun (his table was five handed) and raised to 1,500. The player who had asked for his hat earlier, Willie Tann, reraised to 4,500 from the button and everyone folded, including Mr. Ivey.
On the next hand, that same player that three-bet Ivey on the previous hand, raised to 1,600 from the cutoff seat. Ivey moved all in for about 11,000 from the big blind and won the pot.
