Phil Ivey will have to wait another year for a shot at the one bracelet he desires the most. Ivey, shortstacked at 6,350,000, moved all-in on the first hand back from a break and found a caller in Darvin Moon. The resulting bad beat ended his 2009 WSOP Main Event run with a 7th place finish.

Ivey tabled A K and found himself dominating Moon’s A Q. The flop however brought horror for the Ivey fans inside the Penn & Teller Theatre as the doorcard was the Q followed by 6 6. The air was sucked from inside the theatre with the collective gasp of all of Ivey’s fan club. The turn and river brought no help for the seven time bracelet winner and his quest for a third bracelet this year was snuffed out by the logger from Maryland.

Following the hand Phil Ivey gave a quick interview to WSOP officials but decided against speaking to the assenlbled media. Within an hour of his elimination Ivey was on FullTiltPoker.com playing $2,000/$4,000 Stud Hi Lo.
