The $200,000 buy-in Coin Rivet Invitational at Triton Poker Cyprus got underway today and saw Poker Hall of Famer Phil Ivey busting in just the first level of play in a nut flush vs. second nut flush confrontation against Switzerland's Linus Loeliger.
Ivey quickly bought back in for another $200,000 in the invite-only event that pairs top professionals against recreationals. Others battling in the High Roller event include professionals Michael Addamo, Laszlo Bujtas, Stephen Chidwick, Jason Koon, Isaac Haxton, Mikita Badziakouski and Espen Jorstad, as well as recreationals Tony G, Paul Phua and Wai Kin Yong.
