Goodbye Ivey

Pot-Limit Omaha

Phil Ivey walked by us on his way back to the tournament and then no more than a minute later walked right past us on the way back out the door. We went over to his table where Steve Wong informed us that he just busted Ivey from the tournament.

Wong raised under the gun with the {A-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} and Ivey called from the big blind. After the flop came {8-} {5-} {3-} rainbow, Ivey led for the pot and then Wong re-potted. Ivey called and was all in. He held the {7-} {6-} {5-} -X for a pair and a straight draw. The turn was a tena nd the river a king which didn't help Ivey and he was sent to the rail. Wong's now up to 17,000 in chips.
