Nothing is a sure thing in big-bet poker.

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...

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.
