Ivey: has a lot of work to do

Phil Ivey is hanging in there, currently on 9,000 in chips after managing to double up after the dinner break.

Ivey first ran his {a-Diamonds}

{a-Diamonds}

{q-Clubs}

into an opponent's {a-Hearts}

{a-Hearts}

{q-Spades}

, but there was no freerolling moment for either player when the board was spread {3-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

{2-Diamonds}

{3-Hearts}

{q-Hearts}

{5-Clubs}

, giving Ivey and his adversary an equal share of the pot.

Ivey then got his money in with {k-Spades}

{k-Spades}

{q-Diamonds}

against another opponent's {k-Hearts}

{k-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

, but the flop was a nasty {k-Diamonds}

{k-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

, putting the opponent in the lead with two pair.

However the railbirds were relieved to see the {5-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

fall on the turn, putting Ivey back out in front with the flush. No two-outer this time - a harmless {4-Spades}

{4-Spades}

bricked on the river to see Ivey double up.
