Eight-Five for Phil

Raphael Zimmerman raised to 10,000 and Rodeen Talebi called from the button. Ivey called as well from the big blind. Ivey drew two, Zimmerman drew two, and Talebi drew one.

Another One for Zimmerman

Action folded to Phil Ivey in the small blind and he raised to 12,000 and Raphael Zimmerman made the call from the big blind. Ivey stood pat while Zimmerman drew one.

Ivey then checked and Zimmerman bet 30,000. Ivey took his time to think about his decision while Zimmerman sat absolutely motionless with his sunglasses on. Ivey eventually mucked his hand and Zimmerman scooped the pot. Ivey is now the short stack with about 75,000 in chips.
