. Ivey tabled aces and an ace-seven, 
. Chen flashed

The next pot Ivey led all the way first to act,

.
Chen is down to about 900,000.

, to take down the pot. He's got the chip lead now with about 2.6 million to Chen's 1.7 million.
Hold'em
Bill Chen raised his button. Phil Ivey called to a flop of 
, which both players checked. Ivey led the 
turn and the 
river. Chen called the first bet, but not the second. Credit another pot to Ivey.
The stacks are virtually dead even now.
Hold'em
Phil Ivey is looking for his 8th bracelet. Bill Chen is looking for his third. They've both got work to do after Ivey flopped the second nut flush in a recent hold'em hand. Ivey raiesd the button, with Chen calling fro the big blind. Chen then check-called all the way down on a

/ X
Ivey: X-X / 
/ X
We breezed through the stud round without much action. In stud split, Bill Chen brought it in then called Phil Ivey's completion. Chen drew the high board on fourth, but checked it and then called another bet. He kept the high board with open kings on fifth street and bet there and on sixth. Ivey called each time, taking the two players to the river.
Chen opted for a check on the river, opening the door for an Ivey bet. Chen called, then mucked when Ivey turned up 
for a ten-high straight.

Razz
Ivey: X-X / 5-8-3-Q / X
Chen: X-X / T-6-A-9 / X
Phil Ivey is down to just six big bets in his stack after losing a razz showdown to Bill Chen. He completed third street after Chen brought it in. Chen called, then called bets on fourth street and fifth street also. Both players checked sixth and seventh streets. It was difficult to tell if Chen was playing the river cautiously or going for a check-raise. Either way, the 3-4-7 he opened, to make a 7-6, dragged the pot.
Ivey has 750,000.
Omaha-8
The players are playing very, very quickly. So quickly that there's no way to keep up. Most pots are not getting to showdown. One pot that did, however, was another loser for Phil Ivey. He raised the button and was called by Bill Chen. Chen check-called a bet on a flop of 
and that was enought to shut Ivey down. The action checked the rest of the way, with Chen turning up 
for two pair, nines and sevens, to grab the pot.
Ivey is down to 980,000.
