Pocket Nines Do the Job Again for Phil Ivey
Andras Nemeth raised to 25,000 under the gun, Gurcan Gungoren flatted on his left, and Phil Ivey three-bet shoved for 212,000 from the small blind. Nemeth folded but Gungoren tanked, burned a few timebanks, and then called.
Ivey: [9h9d]
Gungoren: [KhJh]
Ivey saw a nine in the window, and the [6c8s9sQd5c] board secured him the double.
The very next hand saw Ivey lose 52,000 as he isolated Gungoren’s all in for 26,000. Matthias Eibinger, however, shoved with pocket and forced Ivey out. Gungoren’s nine-five found no help on the board.

Abraham Passet Knocked Out by Laszlo Bujtas
Abraham Passet shoved 10 big blinds under the gun and the action folded to Laszlo Bujtas, who called from the big blind.
Passet: [KcQh]
Bujtas: [AhJh]
“I can live with that,” Passet said upon seeing that he had two live cards.
However, the flop fell [9sAcTc] and Passet was calling for a jack. He wouldn’t see one as the rest of the board came out [3s] and [6s].

Matthias Eibinger Snap-Calls to Double with a Straight
Matthias Eibinger was in the big blind, checking to Artur Martirosyan on the river of the [QdKc4sJd8c] board.
Martirosyan bet all in from the button and Eibinger snap-called.
Martirosyan knew his [Ks8s] wasn’t going to be good, and Eibinger confirmed that as he showed the [Tc9s] for a straight. Martirosyan shipped 158,000 across the table.
Phil Ivey, who is sitting next to Eibinger, asked to recall the action.
“Check-call, check-call, check-call,” Eibinger replied.
Martirosyan was downed to 35,000 and he was eliminated shortly thereafter.

Rok Gostisa Eliminated by Danny Tang
The action was caught on the [7h9hKd] flop, where Rok Gostisa (big blind) had placed 70,000 in front of him. He was tangling with Danny Tang (early position), who had bet and then three-bet to 115,000. Gostisa called.
The turn was the [5c] and Gostisa moved all in for around 100,000. Tang immediately called.
Gostisa was drawing dead with the [KcQd] as Tang rolled over the [7s7c].
Tang raked in the pot after the [5h] river hit the felt and crossed the 1-million mark.
