Ivey Crippled
Level 11
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Phil Ivey opened for 16,000 from the hijack and was met by a three-bet to 44,000 from Richard Yong in the small blind. Ivey made the call, the flop fell 
, and Yong fired out 51,000, leaving himself 175,000 behind.
Ivey thought until the dealer activated the last ten seconds of the shot clock, and then he grabbed a stack of chips and raised to 200,000. Yong moved all in for a little more and Ivey made the call.
Ivey: 
Yong: 
Yong was ahead with his jacks, but Ivey was drawing to any paint cards. The 
turn wasn't what he needed, and neither was the 
river. Yong scored the double, which left Ivey on a short stack.
