Ivey Takes Huge Hit

Phil Ivey

With the board reading {3-Spades}{J-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} Phil Ivey called his opponent's bet of 3,000 chips on the turn as the two players went to the river.

The river brought the {A-Hearts} and the action was checked to Ivey who fired a large bet of 6,000 into the middle. His opponent went into the tank as Ivey stared him down from underneath his masseuse. Eventually his opponent counted out his chips and made the call. Ivey simply smirked and said "You got it" as he prepared to muck his cards. His opponent flipped {J-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for trips to take down a huge pot and leave Ivey with only around 7,000 in chips.
