2010 World Series of Poker
Event #37: $3,000 H.O.R.S.E.

Phil Ivey Wins!

We started out today with 25 world-class mixed games players and although we knew we were in for a long day, you had a feeling that today was going to bring something very special. Of course when you come back for a day three with superstars like David Benyamine, John Juanda, Jeff Lisandro, Dan Heimiller, Chad Brown, David Singer and several other previous bracelet winners, we were destined for a final table for the ages.

When the field was reduced to 16 players, Phil Ivey was the short stack of the field. By the time the final table was formed, Ivey was amongst the leaders and looking in control. However Ivey never had it easy and his chip stack fluctuated as the going was tough against such a strong lineup.

We've witnessed Ivey destroy final tables in the past, but you never got the feeling that this title was his, until he got heads up. Bill Chen put up a great fight and excelled on the final table, but once Ivey got some momentum heads up, it seemed like there was only ever going to be one winner.

That man is Phil Ivey. Bracelet number eight. It puts him in rare company with the elite in poker's history. Of course, bracelets mean a lot to Ivey, but the talk tomorrow will be about the side bets he stands to collect from this victory. In fact after it was all over, Ivey was overheard to comment, "So how much is it for first place anyway?"

That's any day in the books from the WSOP, and it's one that will be forever remembered for the legendary Phil Ivey. Good...

Event 36 $1,000 NLHE

We didn't think it would take too long to get through to our final table this evening, but we certainly didn't think it would take less than five hours of play to reach our final table.

Players started to fall from some of the very first hands and in what seemed like no time at all we were down to three tables, then two, then one. Some talented players were among those who didn't survive, including Svetlana Gromenkova. John Clancy, Peter Traply and Josh Goldstein.

The nine players that will be returning to play tomorrow include chip leader Sebastien Roy (1,867,000), but he is followed closely by Timothy Beeman (1,788,000). Daniel Fuhs is the only other player heading into the final table with over a million chips (1,251,000). Meanwhile, Michael Michnik is our short stack (307,000) and Scott Montgomery will need a little help to improve (604,000).

2010 World Series of Poker
Event #39: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Shootout

It was like 14 final tables, only all were winner-take-all. Nearly 12 hours after play began, all 14 ten-handed tables had played down to a single winner, each of whom now has a chance at a WSOP bracelet.

Derric Haynie was the first one through to tomorrow's final, dispatching of his ten-handed table in relatively short order. He was followed to the next round by Steven Kelly, Jeffrey King, Michael Cooper, Heinz Kamutzki, and Paul Varano.

J.C. Tran -- owner of two WSOP bracelets already -- was the next one through, followed by Johnny Kitchens, Dustin Dirksen, and Justin Scott.

We crossed midnight, and four tables continued play, with all four down to heads up. Annette Obrestad and Fatima Moreira de Melo began their heads-up battle nearly even, but Obrestad eventually chipped up and eliminated the renowned field hockey star.

Michael Pesek, Brett Shaffer, and Reagan Leman were the last to win their spots in tomorrow's final. All 14 are guaranteed $6,940 for making it to Round 2, but the big money awaits those making it to the top spots tomorrow. Play will begin tomorrow as a 14-person multi-table tournament (two seven-handed tables), with each player starting with 450,000 chips.
