Phil Ivey ($263,264.90), Gus Hansen ($87,674.10), John Juanda ($149,992) and David Benyamine ($48,998) played $2000/$4000 Limit Stud H/L. This post is going to be somewhat short because I watched the tail end of the game and saw a couple big pots but didn’t see enough action to give a good report. I was able to see about 40 hands. There were points while I was watching when players would sit in and out…so even the 40 hands I watched weren’t the best.

Well after what I am sure are low hopes on your end I will start with a hand between Phil Ivey and David Benyamine. On 4th street where the betting started had Benyamine bet $2k which Ivey called. On 5th street Benaymine bet $4k and Ivey raised to $8k, which David Benyamine called. On 6th street this time Ivey bet $4k and Benyamine called. 7th street same deal with Ivey betting and David Benyamine calling. On the showdown Phil Ivey showed a full house tens full of fives and took down the pot worth $41,198.

This was really the largest hand I saw with another $32k in the PokerTilt hands. At the end of about 40 hands the chip counts were:

• David Benyamine ($28,497.75), is sitting out
• John Juanda ($149,092), is sitting out
• Gus Hansen ($149,663.35)
• Phil Ivey ($272,660.40)

The table was “vulture” and La Key U was sitting out for the first 13 hands but then decided to join the game and played with $12k.

FinddaGrind ($81,187.50) played $1000/$2000 Limit Stude Hi against gamble up77 ($30,092.50). The average pot was $4143 with 180 H/hr. It looked like FinddaGrind would soon have all the money in the heads up match but mid game Gamble up777 won a timely 20k and $16k pot. Soon after Gamble lost a $18k pot which hurt his chip stack and he had $18k while FinddaGrind had $92k.
