[Hold'me]

Nothing is a sure thing in big-bet poker.

[Yeti]

Tournament Director Johnny Grooms announces to the crowd that Robert Williamson III has finished among the top three in this event ($5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha) for three straight years.

Woa.

[Kevmath]

Williamson's certainly capable enough to beat Ivey, and he's been in the top 3 in the 5k/rebuy PLO 3 straight years now.

Kevin...

[blumpkin22]

Why does your signature end in ...?

7 in a row, sweet. I'm off to bed. Hope he takes it.

[TheJackal]

Ivey's a beast (Chaos from FF1 if you will), he's going to steamroll over RWIII and that other guy and win his 5th? bracelet. GO IVEY, YOU'RE THE MAN DAWG! Holler back if you feel me!

[Sponger15SB]

So instead of taking a huge chip lead HU as a 75% favorite the other guy is now chip leader...OUCH!

Title: Davood Mehrmand Doubles Through Phil Ivey to Take the Chip Lead
Log: Hand 103 - Ivey has the button in seat 6, he raises to $30,000, Mehrmand reraisees to $95,000, and Ivey calls. The flop comes 10s-6d-3h, Mehrmand bets the pot ($195,000), Ivey moves all in, and Mehrmand calls.


Ivey shows 10c-6s-5h-4s (top two pair, open-ended straight draw), while Mehrmand has Ah-Ad-10d-2d (pair of aces). The turn card is the Ac, and Mehrmand makes a set of aces, and Ivey needs to catch a two or a seven to eliminate Mehrmand. The river card is the 5c, and Mehrmand doubles up in chips.


Davood Mehrmand has just taken the chip lead with $833,000 in chips.

[istewart]

Davood Mehrmand is not a poker player. He is a Party employee.

[TheJackal]

Yeah can we say reverse implied odds? Ivey knew exactly what the guy had and knew he could break him, too bad the turn bailed him out.

[BlackAces]

Still plenty of time. Other guy's lead is not that huge. I expect Ivey and RW3 to outplay this guy. He's going to need to get lucky at least one more time.

WICKED BEAT. I bet Phil is crying inside.

[Manimal 42]

Where is everyone getting thier updates? The one at Cardplayer Mag's site seems pretty slow.

[TomHimself]

im getting from cardplayr

[bones]

I'd imagine that playing short-handed with Ivey isn't one of the more enjoyable poker experiences out there.

These guys are probably more than happy getting their money in being a 3-1 dog against Ivey. Better than drawing dead.

I'm sure these other 2 are excellent PLO players, but wow...

[gfu18]

I've watched the live updates log for about 2 hrs while doing some other work and yea... Ivey is just taking these guys down. It seems like they are playing so passive and just let Ivey whittle them down.

Good luck phil

[Deftoner]

Ivey is stupid good.

I /images/graemlins/heart.gif him.

No problem, nerdiness is alright with me. I loved that game when I was 9

[Miles Ahead]

That beat would have had me on tilt, at least for the next few hands. I'm sure of it. Ivey is like a damn machine and went right back to steamrolling his way to victory.
