Ivey Doubles Before Dinner Break

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

With the dinner break approaching, three players created a pot of about 5,600 and saw a flop of {3-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{2-Spades}. Phil Ivey checked from the small blind and a player in middle position did the same. The cutoff then bet 2,100 and Ivey check-raised to 6,200. The middle position player got out of the way and the cutoff made the call.

When the {3-Hearts} hit the turn, Ivey fired out 10,000. His opponent didn't seem too happy and deliberated a long time. Ivey only had 9,575 behind, so a call here would practically commit him on the river; nonetheless, the cutoff made the call. Sure enough, Ivey moved all in when the {J-Diamonds} fell on the river and the cutoff called. Ivey showed {4-Clubs}{4-Hearts} for a full house and the cutoff tossed his cards in the muck.

Ivey doubled and now sits with right around 57,000.
