Last Break of the Night: Ivey Continues to Thrive; Hellmuth Falls & More
The fourth level of Day 2c has just come to an end, and that means it's time for the last 20-minute break of the day. When they return, the remaining players will play one more level before bagging and tagging for the night. As usual, the post-dinner action was fast and furious as the pace of eliminations picked up.
One of the first to go in Level 9 was Anna Khait, who made a full house only to be beaten by a superior one from Kyle Bowker. Likewise, 13-time WSOP bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth saw his Main Event dreams come to an end in back-to-back hands. Others who fell in Level 9 were Jennifer Harman, Scott Epstein, Shawn Buchanan, and Bryan "The Icon" Micon, just to name a few.
Of course not everyone was so unlucky. Todd Brunson picked up pocket aces to score a double, while Phil Ivey continued to send people to the rail and increase his stack, though he didn't do too much in the orbit we spend with him.
