Chadha's Aces Crush Ivey
On the 
flop, Carlos Chadha bet 15,300. Steve O'Dwyer made the call, and then Phil Ivey slid out a tower of chips for a big raise. Chadha tanked, got a count on Ivey's raise, which was 140,300, and then he reraised all in. O'Dwyer folded, and Ivey quickly called the extra bit of chips.
Chadha had the 
for an overpair, and he was ahead of Ivey's 
, but Ivey did have an open-ended straight draw in addition to his pair.
The turn was the 
, and the river was the 
. Both missed Ivey, and he was forced to pay off Chadha, who was all in for 183,300 total on the flop.
Ivey was left with just 1,300 in chips.
"What am I on the flop there?" asked Ivey to no one in particular.
"Like 38 or 36 percent," responded Bryn Kenney from across the table.
According to the PokerNews Odds Calculator, Ivey was just under 36% with his eights against Chadha's aces, so Kenney was right on.
