Big Hands and Storylines:
Hold’em
Ivey Gaining Steam
The action picks up on the flop of A24. The small blind bet into Ivey and he made the call. The turn was the 4 and again the other player bet and was met by a call from Ivey. The river was the J and the action went bet-call a third time. The players showed their hands:
Small blind: A7
Phil Ivey: AQ
The pot was a big one for Ivey who now has a better than average stack of 44,000
Stud
AAA Rescues Binger, But Only Temporarily
Binger: A2J10
Opponent 3728
Michael Binger, perilously low on chips, bet on every street and was called all the way down. On 7th street Binger put his last 2,400 chips into the middle. His opponent, not showing a tremendously dangerous board, thought for over a minute before making the call. Binger flipped over (AA5) and took down the pot, doubling up to 20,000. Unfortunately for Binger, he would be eliminated before the end of the level.
Razz
Jurgens on the Move
Tad Jurgens: 2973
Opponent: 27A5
The action on this hand is quite simple to relate. On 4th, 5th, and 6th streets Tad Jurgen called a bet from his opponent. On 7th street the other player bet again but this time Jurgens tossed in a raise. His opponent called and was not at all pleased to see Jurgens turn over (A64) for the second-nut low. The hand brings Jurgens up to 52,000.
