The biggest news is that Phil Ivey owns the world we live in, but that’s not really news. Next is that David Benyamine has been bleeding chips. Third is that Tom Dwan has been the vampire. Here are the counts from the break that’s just finishing:

I missed the beginning of the action but there was no mistaking the end of it. Ivey and Hellmuth were in a pot with Ivey having 8-8 and Hellmuth having A-J. The flop was J-T-9. After a seven on the turn made Ivey a straight, the rest of Hellmuth’s chips went in. (And he doubled up an hour ago.)

I don’t know if Tom “Durrrr” Dwan has bigger balls than the rest of the world, or just more of them. But he has no problem playing almost every hand and playing aggressively. Everyone at the table has made a big deal of how often he plays, but it seems he still raises every time in late position or reraises every time someone else raises in late position. And he’s not afraid to back up such obvious plays with more chips on later streets.

Phil Hellmuth is in a pissy mood. It’s 7:10 PM and more than ten minutes after the re-start, he says, “Where’s Andy Bloch? The guy ships ninety dimes with two sevens and now he’s gone?”

We’re about 1 3/4 hours into our dinner break, just before 7 PM. There was this great Indian restaurant right across from the studio. I’m just not sure they were ready for a party of 24, especially with producers trying to get the production restarted and poker players wanting … to play Chinese Poker.

Phil Ivey just won a $531,000 pot from Chris Ferguson. Phil Hellmuth, with J-4 decided to raise. Phil Ivey called with 3-3. Chris Ferguson reraised with A-A. I think the total bet by Chris was $27,000.

Phil Hellmuth is fuming nad the object of his ire is – no surprise – Mike Matusow. Despite the fact the two are good friends and confidants, they LOVE giving each other shit and taking chips from each other. And it’s all going Mike’s way now.

Patrik Antonius had just bought in for another $200,000 when he got a chance to put them into play in a pretty ballsy spot. Unfortunately for him, Tom Dwan didn’t blind.

Both Mike Matusow and Phil Hellmuth are acting like they’re steaming. Of course, they act that way all the time so it’s hard to tell what’s real and what’s for play. But they both seem to be struggling in this game.
