Ivey Eliminates Kollmann
PokerNews Cup Austria Champion Erich Kollmann raised it up from early position and Phil Ivey made the call from the blinds. The flop came A-8-7 and Ivey checked to Kollmann who fired his last chips into the middle. Ivey made the call with and was well ahead of Kollmann's . The turn and river arrived 7-9 and Kollmann is eliminated as Ivey jumps to 145,000 chips.
It's ironic that Ivey is chip leader in this event as the same time that Daniel Negreanu has just won the bracelet in the $2,000 Limit Holdem event. Of course these two have a famous prop bet over the number of bracelets won in this series. Will this news be motivation for Ivey in today's event?
