Some How Some Way

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Facing a button raise to 6,600, Phil Ivey threw in four yellow 5,000-denomination chips amounting to a 20,000-chip raise.

With the action back on the button, he tossed in six yellow chips, which in most brick-and-morter such as Crown Casino, would constitute a raise since it was more than fifty percent.

Ivey asked the dealer what the ruling is - and although the button should have been forced to make it 33,400 - it was ruled as a call.

The dealer dropped a {2-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{10-Spades} flop and Ivey checked as his opponent moved all in. Ivey nodded, and as the dealer requested further clarification, he announced a call and tabled his hand.

Ivey: {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Opponent: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}

With Ivey in dominating shape with top pair and a flush draw, the {3-Hearts} on the turn would see him capture the pot to move to 186,000 as players broke to dinner before the meaningless {8-Hearts} completed the board.
