Ivey's Run in the Main Event Comes to an End

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Phil Ivey

Phil Ivey opened to 22,000 from middle position and Brian Altman three-bet to 75,000 in the hijack. The action folded back to Ivey who made the call to see a flop of {q-Clubs}{j-Spades}{2-Spades}.

Ivey check-called a bet of 60,000 from Altman and the {8-Spades} landed on the turn. Both players checked to the {3-Diamonds} on the river and Ivey checked one more time. Altman stuck in a bet of 195,000 and Ivey check-raised all in for 629,000. Altman thought for over a minute and then made the call.

"Good call," Ivey said. Altman turned over {q-Spades}{j-Clubs} and Ivey was unable to beat it. Ivey held {9-Spades}{9-Clubs} and shipped the rest of his chips to Altman in the last hand before the dinner break.
