Ivey chip leader in 17, Helmuth leader in 18

 

[Poker Orifice]

Ivey was the shortstack with 13left, but now 2nd in chips, winning big pot vs. Deeb (Deeb 4bets 44 & Ivey gets allin w AA).
Ivey's AA holds & now has BIG stack!

All I can so far get is the #18 event w/Phil Ivey in it.

Few sites open & also trying to watch both of these final tables at the same time, seems to be maxing out my computer (have TaskMgr. opened & with both tables streaming my CPU is bouncing between 97 & 100%. With just one it's hovering between 55-70%). Laptop feelin' kinda warm too. Maybe I can fry it so I'll have an excuse to purchase a new desktop (instead of waiting til' Christmas).

OMG. Mine crashed ages ago

Something interesting that the commentator said.

If Ivey wins it will be his first holdem bracelet. If Hellmuth wins it'll be his first non holdem bracelet.

Down to 9 in event 17...final table!!!

 

[Poker Orifice]

Yes

Down to 9 in event 17...final table!!!

Pretty sure it's been final table since they were down to 10 (unless there was 1 guy sitting on another table, waiting for the others I was watching for the past 45mins.?

 

[moots]

Yes

Pretty sure it's been final table since they were down to 10 (unless there was 1 guy sitting on another table, waiting for the others I was watching for the past 45mins.?

It's not the "official" final table until it gets down to 9. Once it hit 9, they announced it and did the introductions.

You should upgrade to Win7, you'll see huge improvements. At least check if you have the latest version of adobe flash.

Look at the size of those stacks on event #18. Do these guys ever chip up?

 

[JohnBoyWWFC]

They will on dinner break.

 

[pcgnome]

There are two left, and Phil Helmuth has a huge lead. They never chipped up after the break.

 

[prepare]

both Phil Ivey and Phil Hellmuth heads up going for their 9th and 12th bracelet, respectively.

 

[prepare]

Ivey takes second, right now it looks like Hellmuth will win his first non-holdem bracelet. But you never know. I am going to bed. Best of luck to Hellmuth.

Edit

Phil Hellmuth got his 12th bracelet, first non-holdem one.

 

[Ducky7]

Congrats to Hellmuth, deserved it after last year. Fair play to him giving it a good start again this year

 

[JusSumguy]

Congrats Mr. Hellmuth on your 12th. bracelet. Can't argue with results.

First non Holdem bracelet. Was fun to watch,
