Ivey Heading Back in the Right Direction

Level 5 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Jason Mercier raised to 8,000 from middle position and Phil Ivey three-bet to 22,000 from the button. Both blinds folded and it was heads-up action to the flop, which came down {8-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}. Mercier check-called a bet of 15,000 and then both players checked the {K-Spades} turn.

When the {J-Spades} completed the board on the river, Mercier checked for a third time and Ivey bet 25,000. Mercier thought for well over a minute before paying it off, only to muck when Ivey revealed the {a-Spades}{10-Diamonds}.
