David Williams Takes A Big Pot
Log: With a board of Q-J-J, a player in seat 3 raises only to be reraised by David Williams. The original raiser moves all in and is immediately called by David Williams, who show Ah-Jh. The player in seat 3 flips over 7-5 and is caught bluffing. The turn completes Williams full house with the ace.
Williams eliminates the player in seat 3 and is now up to approximately $40,000 chips.
Title: Ivey Takes A Nap?
Log: Matt Matros was overheard at his table mentioning that Phil Ivey has headed back up to his room for a nap. He is not eliminated, his chips are still at the table. With the slow blind structure and $25,000 in starting chips, there is plenty of time for play later.
Title: Cliff “JohnnyBax” Josephy Doubles Up
Log: Three players call a $850 pre-flop raise. The flop comes Ks-8s-5c. The original raiser bet $1100. JohnnyBax calls and the other players folds. The turn is the 6c. The original raiser bets out $3200 and Bax re-raises to $8500 and his opponent moves all-in. Bax calls immediately with 9c-7c (nut straight and a flush draw). His opponent shows K-8 for two pair. The river blanks and JohnnyBax takes down a big pot.
ClifF “JohnnyBax” Josephy doubles up to just over $47,000.
Title: John Phan sent to the rail
Log: John Phan was just sent home early after his put all his money in (Phan was on a short stack of about $4500) with A-Q on a Q-J-5 flop. His opponent, holding K-J, made the call and hit another jack on the river.
