Canadian Content: Albert Hahn, who finished 7th in the event, is from Calgary. He is much better known in Scrabble circles than in Poker circles. As far as I can tell, this was his first major event - definitely his first major cash!

We need TWO cocktail waitresses, baby!" Scotty Nguyen said, slurring his words just a tad. Despite the early hour, Nguyen already appears to be halfway in the bag and he just motioned to the audience, declaring that he'd buy a round for everyone in the stands and up in the Jack Link's Lounge. When the waitresses failed to instantly materialize, Nguyen staggered over to media row where he asked the floor staff if they could call over a few cocktail servers before returning to the table.
When the servers did arrive, they were greeted with a hearty cheer from both Nguyen and the audience.
Alejandro Quattrini and Scott Herd just had a super rare occurrence happen over at Table 295 in the Blue section of Amazon. First, Herd raised, Quattrini reraised, Herd moved all in and after some time in the tank, Quattrini folded pocket kings face up. Herd showed him that he made a good laydown, tabling two aces.
Just ten minutes later, Quattrini raised to 400 from under the gun before Herd reraised to 1,050 from the hijack seat. Quattrini moved all in for 22,675 and Herd went into the tank.
"You know what, I'm going to return the favor," said Herd as he tossed pocket kings into the muck face up. Quattrini showed that he had two aces.
What are the chances the same two players fold kings to aces preflop against each other in opposite spots within ten minutes of each other? And in the WSOP Main Event? WOW!
Yes, he plays today. Should be just getting ready to head over to the event now, I suspect. Hope he has better luck today than the cash game he played last night. Nut flush vs boat for $1200
Walking past Phil Ivey's table, we found him calling a 650-chip bet on a flop into a pot of around 1,000.
A player on the button also made the call before all three players checked the on the turn before the dealer dropped the on the river.
The flop aggressor fired out 1,125 and Ivey splashed the pot with a call as the third player released.
Ivey tapped the table at the sight of his opponent's and slipped to 28,300 in the process.
Chants of “Ivey! Ivey! Ivey!” still echo in the minds of poker players and fans alike. Last year’s magical run by Phil Ivey captured the eyes and ears of everyone associated with the poker industry, and his quest at a repeat performance started here on Day 1d of the 2010 Main Event.
Ivey has been splashing around early on, and is in the black with 45,700 chips
Catching the action on the board of and the pot sitting at around 18,000, both Phil Ivey and his opponent checked the action.
The river landed the and Ivey slid in a stack of 5,000- and 1,000-denomination chips into the pot amounting to a bet of roughly 38,000 to effectively put his opponent all in for his last 12,000.
Ivey's eyes darted back-and-forth at his lone opponent on his direct left, the ESPN TV camera crew, the pot and at anything that seemed to move within his peripheral vision.
"Wow!" gasped Ivey's opponent as the camera switched solely on him and another few minutes went by.
"I have a big hand!" he added before flashing a card at Ivey.
Ivey remained in his emotionless seated position as his eyes darted faster than the excitement meter on Allen Kessler soars after registering a min-cash!
Eventually Ivey's opponent tossed in his face up while uttering, "Go ahead man!"
Ivey pushed his cards towards the muck and collected the pot to send him to 62,000 in chips.
The gentleman in the hijack opened for 1,100, only for Yuji Masaki cutoff to make it 2,800. In the big blind, Phil Ivey went all in. The hijack folded, but Masaki called all in, barely covered by Ivey.

Flop:
No help there.
Turn: bink!
Ivey was suddenly in the lead.
River: re-bink!
The better hand won in the end, and after a cruel glimpse of hope on the turn, Ivey was crippled. He remained in the game, but was down to just 1,900.
