Ivey Quadruples Back
Phil Ivey was all in against three players on the 
flop — Bryn Kenney, Leon Tsoukernik, and Carlos Chadha. Kenney was first and checked. Tsoukernik bet 8,000, and then Chadha raised to 18,000. Kenney folded, and Tsoukernik called.
With 36,000 in the side pot, Tsoukernik and Chadha both checked the 
turn card. At this point, Ivey stopped the massage he was getting as if to signal it was the end of the tournament for him.
"That's it," Ivey said, looking back at the masseuse. "How much I owe you?"
The dealer dealt the 
river, and Tsoukernik led with a bet of 28,000. Chadha thought about it, then called, but his 
was no good against the 
for Tsoukernik.
"Bam!" yelled out Ivey after the side pot was pushed to Tsoukernik, showing his 
for the winning hand of the main pot. "That's mine, right?" he motioned to the side pot as a joke just before the dealer slid it over to Tsoukernik.
After the dealer sent the chips to each player, Ivey finished, "Wasn't looking good on the end there."
