Hand #69

Daniel Negreanu again opened to 4,500, but this time Brandon Wong three-bet to 14,500 from the small blind. Negreanu made the call and the flop landed A T 4.

Action was with Wong and he led out for 18,500. Negreanu made the call and the 7appeared on the turn. Wong didn’t slow down as he bet the pot to put Negreanu all in, but he didn’t hesitate in making the call as we had a massive pot in the middle:

Negreanu: Q 9 5 6

Wong: A T K Q

Wong held top two pair as Negreanu was drawing with straight and flush draws. Negreanu’s tournament was on the line, but he missed as the 4 completed the board.

With that, we lose Daniel Negreanu in 4th place for $16,336 in prize money.

PHIL IVEY WINS WSOP BRACELET #9

 

Number nine for Phil Ivey

 

We’ve used the phrase “history has been made” multiple times throughout the World Series of Poker Asia Pacific championships, but the status of this event was taken to a whole new level today after a stunning victory by the immortal Phil Ivey.

 

After dominating Day 2, Ivey didn’t have it all his own way on today’s final table, and that’s the way it should be on a WSOP final table.

 

Ivey took a backseat in the early stages but when his biggest friend/foe in Daniel Negreanu was eliminated in 4th place, Ivey kicked it up to a new gear when three-handed. Ivey applied the pressure to remove a gallant Graham Putt in 3rd place before an intriguing heads-up battle with Brandon Wong.

 

Wong began with the chip lead, but Ivey slowly ground out an advantage, picking his spots carefully and remaining patient. A hand of No Limit Holdem brought Ivey tantalizingly close to the gold, but Wong spiked the only pair to even up the chips once again.

 

However it appeared to merely delay the inevitable as the gravitational pull of the Ivey aura continued to attract chips before Wong was crippled in a hand of 2-7 Triple Draw, drawing a useless A♥ on the final draw. Moments later, and on the 178th hand of heads-up play, Ivey produced a T-9-8-3-2 with Wong drawing to his 7-6-3. He found a four but his final card was a queen which wasn’t enough. A great run ended short of the gold as Ivey takes bracelet number nine and $51,840 in prize money.

 

Final Table Results

 

1st Phil Ivey - $51,840

2nd Brandon Wong - $32,039

3rd Graeme Putt - $22,427

4th Daniel Negreanu - $16,336

5th Rob Campbell - $12,020

what a monster. 9 WSOP bracelets...and doesnt even have one in hold'em yet. this Ivey/Hellmuth bracelet chase is going to be epic this summer. 60 events... at the rate these two are closing tournys its only a matter of time before they clash HU for one.

 

so if Ivey and Hellmuth got heads up for NLHE bracelet... who IS the favorite?

I'm all for supporting Ivey in his bracelet collection, watched the stream last night and he definitely deserved it, but beating an 81 person field in a $2,200 buyin 8 game tourney in australia seems a little hollow to be calling it a history making 9th?

 

Don't want to take anything a way from a guy who's clearly a legend in the past 10 years. The whole ranking players across so many different fields and events has always been tough and open for debate, but imo this series has watered down the bracelet race...
