Ivey with a Flush to Double

Phil Ivey leading the way
Phil Ivey leading the way

Catching up with the action on the turn of a board reading {4-Spades}{3-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}, Phil Ivey had raised Jean Sean's bet to 40,000. Sean reraised to 86,100 and then Ivey went all in for 101,250. It was just 15,150 more for Sean to call and he did just that.

Ivey turned over the {K-Spades}{9-Spades} for a spade flush. Sean tried to just muck his hand, but the floor ruled that he had to turn it over and revealed the {A-Hearts}{4-Clubs}. He was drawing dead to Ivey as the river was dealt the {5-Spades}.

Ivey earned the big double up and now sits on about 250,000. That's good enough to be leading the way as we approach the dinner break. Sean dropped to 38,000.
