Ivey Busts, Hush Falls Over The Crowd

An Apple A Day Won't Keep The Bad Beats Away

The poker world just shed a collective tear, as the remaining November Niner's let out a collective sigh of relief as Phil Ivey was eliminated!

He fought hard as the short stack through the last level, but things seemed gloom as he lost small pots and slowly his stack faded below the 10-big-blind area.

Here's how Phil's final hand went down:

Phil Ivey moves all-in under the gun, Action folds over to Darvin Moon in the big blind, who calls quickly.

Showdown:

Moon: Ad-Qs

Ivey: Ac-Ks

Ivey chews on an apple as the entire crowd minus a few Darvin Moon fans erupts into chants of "Ivey! Ivey! Ivey!".

The flop took the breath out of everyone in the theater as it comes Qd-6c-6s, handing the lead over to Moon. The crowd is heard at varying volumes begging for a king, but the Turn 3c and River 5c changes nothing, and Ivey's eliminated in a disappointing 7th place.

Ivey will earn $1,404,014 for his strong efforts, as Darvin regains his chip-lead sitting at $39,325,500.
