It’s authentic: 10-time wrist trinket victor and poker fan most loved Phil Ivey is back at the World Series of Poker. Following an entire year rest from the Rio Convention Center, and a 2016 where the main WSOP occasion he played was the Main, Ivey appeared for Event #5: $100,000 No-Limit Hold’em High Roller, consistent with his oath.
In a meeting with PokerNews a month ago after he won the Triton Poker HKD$250,000 Short Deck Event in Montenegro, Ivey affirmed what he had effectively reported — that we could anticipate that him will play in the 2018 WSOP.
“I wanted to start playing some more tournaments,” Ivey said at the time. “I announced that kind of at the beginning of the year. So I plan on playing the World Series of Poker. Short deck, long deck, it’s OK.”
Event #5: $100K High Roller
Ivey enrolled his first occasion back in the Rio finally on Day 2, getting the aggregate passages to 105 the High Roller. Notwithstanding building his stack to around 800K from the 500K beginning stack, with the assistance of tumbling flush finished flush against Stephen Chidwick in Level 13, Ivey wouldn’t endure the following level.
He had slipped back near beginning stack and went head to head with Chidwick by and by with blinds at 20,000/40,000/40,000 and 27 players staying, still 11 from the cash. This time, every one of the chips went in and Ivey was flipping with take sevens against the lord nine of Chidwick.
The flounder came {A-}{10-}{10-}, to some degree ok for Ivey, however the {Q-} turn gave Chidwick some additional gutshot outs to run with his overs. The {J-} stream finished the straight for Chidwick, and he consumed Ivey’s stack to put him around the 6 million-chip stamp and among the chip pioneers.
