Well, if you told me going into the day that I'd end with 760k, I'd have taken it. But I actually went on a rush very early and got up to 860k by the first break, winning a QQ/AK race, then flopping a set against aces. My peak was 1.3 million or so when I played a big pot against Soheil, but then doubled him up when he flopped trips (with 82o in a raised flop, heh) and now he is the chip leader again....

As the PokerRoad boys say, “If you can’t take the best of it, take the worst of it.” For Kevin Schaffel, that meant getting all in preflop with pocket Aces vs. Eric Buchman’s pocket Kings and losing to quads. Live poker is most certainly rigged. I was standing on the balcony as the hand played out and [...]

We’re 6 hours into the action, Phil Ivey is All-in (with ~ 20 BB in his stack) and Jeff Shulman is in the tank …. The crowd is shushing each other all of the sudden. And re-shushing. It’s like everyone in here understands that this tourney does change dramatically if and when Ivey goes out. UPDATE: [...]

We’ve talked a little about cheering sections at today’s final table, but we’ve saved the strangest combination of superfans for last. Sitting on stage near their main man Phil Ivey are the Humphreys, the little old couple who have rooted him on since his days as an Atlantic City phenom. Next to them are some of [...]

So much craziness going on, and we’ve hardly covered any poker. James Akenhead hit a sick three-outer — the crowd erupted — to triple up, and Antoine Saout called an all-in bluff from Darvin Moon with two pair to stay alive … that was like over an hour ago when this post started. So here’s [...]

Phil Ivey made the first all-in move of the day and the crowd went… silent. It was certainly the tensest moment so far as both Joe Cada and Jeff Shulman considered taking Ivey on and, potentially, knocking him out. In the end though, Ivey’s fold equity was enough that he took down the pot and lived [...]
