Look out, Table 21...
The hand after sending Nick Schulman home early, Phil Ivey opened the next pot to 6,000. Across the table, Matt Stout got his last ~80,000 into the middle on a three-bet shove, and Ivey instantly called when it came back around to him. He didn't have a copy hand this time, but he was racing against Stout for the back-to-back knockouts:
Ivey: 
Stout: 
Stout made a quick comment about Ivey finding hands to get it in with, and the two men chuckled as the dealer pulled the cards in.
"This is the first one I feel like I'm gonna win," Ivey said. You know that utterance can not be good news for Stout. The flop came 
to vault Ivey into a huge lead in the hand. The 
on the turn was a tiny sweat for Stout, giving him four lonely outs to stay in this thing.
The river 
sealed his fate, though, and Stout wished Ivey and the rest of his table luck as he made his way to the door.
Phil Ivey. Chip leader once again. 510,000 chips towering in front of him. Yikes!
