Omaha-8

. He then check-raised the 
turn and induced a fold from Ivey.

for a pair of tens to drag the pot.

The end for John Juanda came in the stud round. He completed a trey on third and was raised by the bring-in, Phil Ivey. Juanda called to fourth street, where he checked the lead and then raised. Ivey was undeterred. The rest of the chips went in on fifth street.
"You got anything?" Juanda asked.
"Two pair," Ivey replied.
"S***."
Ivey showed his eights and deuces, while Juanda showed ace-high. Juanda did make a running two pair, aces and treys, but Ivey rivered a deuce for a full house to send Juanda packing.
Stud
Ivey: X-X / 
Chen: X-X / 
Another pot played by Bill Chen became another pot won by Bill Chen. Phil Ivey brought it in, then called Chen's completion bet. Ivey actually had the lead with a 6-high board on fourth street and with a 7-high board on fifth street. He bet both and Chen called both.
Both players caught kings on sixth street. Ivey checked, then folded to Chen's bet.
Ivey is down to 600,000. Chen is crushing everyone with 3.25 million. Juanda is still shortest with 450,000.

It was John Juanda's turn to bring it in, but he decided to raise after Phil Ivey's completion bet folded Bill Chen. Ivey called the raised, then called another bet on fourth street. On fifth street Ivey drew the higher board and bet. It was enough to put Juanda all in. He called with buried eights, a hand in the lead. Juanda made tens and eights on sixth street, which held up when Ivey bricked the river.
Juanda is up to 460,000. Ivey fell back to about 800,000.
Stud
We're in stud now, and with an extra street of betting chip counts can change in a hurry. Phil Ivey caught the bring in again, and then folded after Bill Chen completed and John Juanda raised. Chen then re-raised, with Juanda calling.
Chen bet fourth street, fifth street, sixth street and the river. Each time Juanda called. At showdown, Chen turned up 
for a pair of kings. Juanda stared longingly at his own cards and then mucked.
Juanda is getting short with just 320,000 chips.
Razz
Chen: X-X / J-4-T-K
Juanda: X-X / J-9-A-2
It was improbable that Bill Chen would win every pot he played. He gave a few chips back to John Juanda in the last hand of razz. Phil Ivey brought it in with a king before Chen completed a jack. Juanda, also with a jack, called to fourth street. Chen drew best and bet but Juanda called again.
Juanda took the lead on fifth and sixth streets and bet each time. Chen's board developed pretty horribly by then and finally on sixth street he gave up the ghost.
