Matt Stout was recently moved from the bronze section to the white section, and he recognized the player that was on his immediate left. Of the 400 some odd players still alive in this event, it's probably the worst player he could have seen. We'll let him tell you himself who he's rubbing elbows with.

Table change. Seems pretty reasonable to have Phil Ivey on my left with lots of chips in an insanely soft $1k NL. #ANotttttttMay 30 2013

Ivey Can't Fade the Flush, Busts

Nível 8 : 200/400, 50 ante

We couldn't have had more perfect timing, as we saw that Phil Ivey was in the middle of a huge pot on the flop as we were walking by the table. Here's what we saw. The flop read , and after his opponent had bet 2,000, Ivey raised it to 7,000. His opponent moved all in, and after a few moments of thought, Ivey said "alright I call."

Ivey:
Opponent:

Even though Ivey had the best hand at the time, his opponent actually had a 53% to 47% edge in the hand, according to our Pokernews odds calculator. Sure enough, the on the turn sealed Ivey's fate, and the hit the river completing the board.

Ivey's opponent had him slightly covered, and Ivey wished everyone good luck, and quickly headed for the exits. He will have the option to come back for Day 1b.

Young's Aces Get It Done

Nível 8 : 200/400, 50 ante

We didn't catch the exact betting action, but we know that Justin Young raised it up in early position. His opponent two spots over three bet it to 1,800, and another player shoved all in for his last 13,000. Action got back around to Young, and he didn't take too long to shove all in. The original three better regrettably folded, and the players tabled their cards.

Young:
Opponent:

Young was in great shape for the knockout, and to show off, he flopped a set, as it came down . No miracles came for his opponent, as the board completed and .

A Few Big Stacks

Nível 8 : 200/400, 50 ante

As the night winds down, some of the big stacks are starting to separate themselves from the pack. By our estimations right now, Scott Seiver has the chip lead.
