From the small blind, Yan Chen raised to 9,000. Elia Ahmadian was in the big blind and announced a reraise, making it 28,000 total. Chen made the call.

Chen drew one card while Ahmadian stood pat. Chen then moved all in and Ahmadian insta-calls. Chen shows {9-?} {8-?} {4-?} {3-?} {2-?} and Ahmadian shows a ten low. Chen had Ahmadian covered and Elia was eliminated in seventh place.

Elia Ahmadian raised to 9,000 and Phil Ivey made the call. Raphael Zimmerman reach for a big stack of chips and put in a reraise to 66,000 by sliding in a ridiculously tall stack of chips. Ahmadian took some deep breaths as he thought about his decision. He then made the fold. Ivey was now up and also made the fold. Zimmerman scooped the pot.

Phil Ivey needs little introduction in the poker world. Ivey won his first bracelet at the age of 23 and since then, has accomplished the feat four more times. That's right, he owns five WSSOP gold bracelets. Along with that, Ivey has raked in more than $10 million in tournament earnings over his career.

He's won numerous events outside of the WSOP. Some of which include the L.A. Poker Classic in 2008, the 2005 Monte Carlo Millions, and Championship Poker at Turning Stone in Verona, NY. If winning over $10 million in tournaments isn't enough, Ivey regularly sits in on some of the biggest cash games in the world. he's a regular at "The Big Game" in Bobby's Room at the Bellagio and is also a feared opponent in the nose-bleed limits online.

Ivey will be going for his sixth bracelet today. Despite coming into the final table as the second shortest stack in the room, he may easily be the most feared opponent at the table.
