Sweat for Ivey; Exit for Smith

Things never seem to come easy for Phil Ivey in this tournament. He got Gavin Smith to commit all of his chips pre-flop with {A-Spades} {10-Spades}. Ivey, non-plussed as ever, tabled {A-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} and waited for the flop.

There was lots of murmuring and laughter as the flop came {J-Spades} {3-Spades} {6-Hearts} to give Ivey top pair and Smith the nut flush draw. The {Q-Clubs} turn gave Smith a few more outs to secure the double-up. But the {3-Diamonds} river propelled Ivey to Day 2.

After Ivey and Smith shook hands, Ivey passed by Barry Greenstein and Greenstein's son Nathan. "I made it," said Ivey with a smile. He addressed Nathan directly and said, "I think you need to be here. You counteract the bad luck."

On his way off the set, Ivey stopped to sign autographs for a couple of U.S. Marines.
