Kassam Busts Ivey, Wants Hand on PokerNews
Level 12
: 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Rehman Kassam came over to the media desk. "I need you in my life," he said. It seemed like a homoerotic proposition, but Kassam had just busted Phil Ivey and wanted it included in the live reporting.
As reported by Kassam, Ivey opened from the cutoff for 4,500 and Kassam three-bet to 13,500. Ivey moved all in for 50,000 and Kassam called. Players revealed their cards, with Ivey at risk.
Phil Ivey: 6♥6♦
Rehman Kassam: A♠Q♠
The board ran out A♣9♣5♣4x2x to give Kassam a pair of aces on the flop. He won the pot and Ivey was eliminated from the tournament.
