Greenwood Makes Nut Flush

Phil Ivey called 50,000 under the gun with [KsQc], followed by Sergi Reixach ([AdQh]); Sam Greenwood checked the button with [As6s].  On the [9h7sTs] flop, it checked to Greenwood who bet 65,000 called by Ivey alone.  Ivey checked the [8h] turn (which brought Greenwood a straight) and it was checked

Huge Cooler Sends Greenwood To the Rail in 3rd Place ($350,000)

Phil Ivey called in the hijack with [AhAd]; Sam Greenwood checked the button with [Kc8c].  A flop of [Ac8sQc] boded action, and it did not disappoint.  At this stage, however, it was limited to a 200,000 lead from Ivey, called by Greenwood. Ivey turned quads with the [As] turn and checked

Cary Katz Eliminated in 4th Place ($250,000)

Cary Katz jammed the cutoff for 910,000 holding [8h9c].  Lurking behind him was Sam Greenwood with [QhQc] and the second biggest stack: he got a call and failed to improve on a [Ac7sJdKcAh] board. Another final table and another almost-trophy for Katz, who has put on a bravura performance so far

Aaron Van Blarcum Eliminated in 5th Place ($200,000)

Aaron Van Blarcum moved all in blind after a Phil Ivey and Wai Kin Yong couple of calls - Ivey, with [AsKd] re-shoved getting Yong (with [QhTd]) out of the way. Van Blarcum, to his surprise, turned over [AdKc] and proceeded to chop the pot. It was a short reprieve, however,

Yong Doubles Through Van Blarcum

Wai Kin Yong moved all in for 990,000 when it folded to him in the hijack with [QsJs].  Over to button Aaron Van Blarcum, who snap-called him with [TdTc] from a stack of 1,260,000.  Hands went on backs, the board running out [Qc9c7h8s7c].  Yong breathes more easily with over 2,000,000

Phil Ivey Doubles “The Hard Way”

Phil Ivey took a stand against a now big stacked (and gear up-shifting) Sam Greenwood, who'd just moved in preflop in mid position for [KsJh], his 4,710,000 putting the rest of his opponents to the test for their tournament lives.  Ivey called all in for 2,130,000 with [AcJd].  Though Greenwood
