Usually there are only 5-6 players max at the table but I guess everyone was feeling like some poker action as the table was filled with 1 on the wait list. Later ziigmund sat down after OnTheRize who was sitting out left the table

It is always interesting when you have a full table because players play tighter (obviously) and their are a lot less hands per hour. The pots though were pretty high with the average at $24k.

The largest hand at the table was between Howard Lederer and Ziigmund. Ziigmund raised to $4,500 after the hole cards and everyone else folded but Lederer. On the flop of [Qc 6d Kd], Lederer checked while Ziigmund bet $10,500. After a little time Lederer raised to $35k which didn’t take long before Ziigmund pushed his stack all-in adding another $64,997 to call….which Lederer eventually did after taking almost all the time he had. The cards where then exposed and Ziigmund had [4d 7s Ks Kc] while Howard Lederer showed [Js Qh Kh Ad]. The turn was a 3s and the river a Ah…not improving Lederer’s hand enough to beat the three of a kind kings of Ziigmund. Ziigmund then raked in the pot worth $214,491.

Phil Ivey left with $98,500.
