Nível 14 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Phil Ivey began the day by chipping up from 198,800 to 330,000 in Level 11. He appeared on the verge of jumping into the top five, but lost a sizable pot to fall back to about 180,000. After grinding his way to back up the counts to about 425,000, Ivey got his chips in again with a chance to command a top-five stack, but what appeared on the surface to be a golden opportunity was in fact the worst case scenario for him.

Ivey raised to 7,500 from under the gun and was called by Olaoluwa Okelola in the hijack, Max Steinberg in the cutoff, and Anthony Gregg in the big blind.

The flop came down and Gregg checked to Ivey who bet 16,000. Okelola raised to 41,000, Steinberg called, and Gregg folded. Ivey took a few moments before reraising all in for roughly 416,000. Okelola folded, but Steinberg called immediately and tabled . Ivey was left with one out in the deck as he showed .

Neither the turn nor river saved Ivey, ending his Main Event.

The usually stoic Ivey exited through the back of the ESPN stage with his hat in his hand, slapping it as he made his way to the back hallways of the Rio.

Meanwhile, Steinberg now sits second in chips with just above 1 million after starting the day with a mere 39,000.

Nível 14 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

We caught camera crews swarming around Carlos Mortensen's table so we headed over to see what the commotion was. There was over 100,000 chips in the pot with the board reading . The player that Mortensen was in the pot with put out a bet of 60,000 and the former Main Event champion was in the tank.

After about a minute and a half Mortensen released his hand.

"Get the cameras around for this one," the player said. He showed for no pair and just a gutshot straight draw.

"If I could beat the nine, I would've called," Mortensen said.

Either way, Mortensen was forced to give up the pot and he dropped to just about 160,000 chips after the hand.

Somar Al-Darwich opened with a raise to 6,500 from under the gun and it folded all of the way back around to Steve Zolotow in the big blind who called.

The flop came . Zolotow checked, Al-Darwich bet 11,000, and Zolotow called. The turn brought the , and Zolotow again bumped the table twice with a closed fist to check. Al-Darwich bet 22,000 this time, and after pulling out the calling chips and turning them over in his hand for a moment, Zolotow called again.

The river was the . Zolotow checked once more, and Al-Darwich quickly set out a bet of 46,000. Zolotow showed his hand to his neighbor — — and folded.
