Patrik Antonius and Phil Ivey had an argument at the table about the upcoming Ryder Cup. I didn’t catch the specifics of the argument but, apparently, neither did they. They agreed to bet $100,000 on the outcome but not on who would take each side. They flipped a coin to decide that detail. Based on the flip – neither player chose a side – Patrik has the U.S. and Phil gets Europe.

We just had the second big hand of the Million Dollar Cash Game. Phil Ivey got Gus Hansen to move all-in with pocket jacks against his pocket aces.

Maybe it’s not “that kind” of game. I’ve got that in my notes at 2:42 PM, about five minutes ago.
Ivey, in position against Hellmuth, bets the flop and turn. Hellmuth checks, calls, and finally folds on the turn.

Cards were in the air at 2:10 and by 2:15, Patrik Antonius had re-bought. Everybody but Tom “durrrr” Dwan started with $100,000. (Dwan has $200,000.) On the first hand, Ivey moved all-in for $100,000 from the button. (Blinds are $300-$600, with a $100 ante.)

Today is the first day of the Million Dollar Cash Game. There’s been some griping among a few of the players that there’s no value in playing the game.
Everyone wants the game to go well and put on a good show, but this is more about the game than the show. They’re playing with their own money and want value if they can get it. Being gamblers, they’re going to gamble even without clearly having the best of it – most of them, anyway – but there’s a feeling that Full Tilt should be importing a couple whales for these Ahabs and Queequegs to aim their harpoons at, in addition to each other.

I don’t know if there was a misunderstanding about the schedule or they’re running late, but the mentor-coaching was something of a letdown. I originally heard the session would be a half hour, and then I heard it would be separate coaching for each match.

Adam Noone, after playing his big stack patiently all day, found himself heads-up with Jay Darbar, who started the day with the shortest stack and, not long into their heads-up play, took a substantial lead. But Noone won with some close hands – 6-6 v. A-9 (and then they saw a 6 and an ace on the flop) and A-Q v. K-Q – to retake his lead and ultimately prevail.

Just moments before Maria and Adam got it all in, Full Tilt showed up. I looked over my shoulder and saw Andy Bloch and Allen Cunningham, then a minute later Chris Ferguson, Phil Ivey, and Roland de Wolfe. Roland, who is immensely popular in televised poker throughout Europe – and deservedly so, as he’s a skilled player, a great character, and a nice guy – walked over to me, which insured that I’ll show up on camera during the broadcast.

Maria Langstrom, who rebounded from a short stack with active play, just busted in third place. She and Adam Noone got all-in preflop with Maria holding Ad-3d and Adam with pocket nines. Langstrom had a gutshot draw and an overcard after the flop and added a flush draw after the turn but failed to hit. Left with just 3 chips – 3,000 – she was all-in with queen-high on the next hand. Both her opponents saw the flop and Noone, hitting an ten on a ten-high board, bet Jay Darbar out and his pair of tens held up.
Maria played great and a lot of people are disappointed she didn’t make it all the way. Although she was, a few days ago, just one of the thousands of Full Tilt players who tried to make it into this event, she showed so much nerve and poise that it would be nice to see her out on the tournament circuit in the near future, hopefully going deep.
Heads-up will soon commence between Adam Noone and Jay Darbar. Adam has the chip lead but Jay isn’t too far behind.
