Ivey Hits the Rail After an Unlucky Flop

Level 8 : 0/0, 6,000 ante
Phil Ivey
Phil Ivey

Alan Sass limped in early position with {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} and Tom Dwan called with {K-Hearts}{9-Spades}. Ivey called with {10-Clubs}{7-Hearts} and Ben Lamb checked his option with {Q-Spades}{10-Hearts}.

The flop was {J-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{8-Spades} giving straights to both Ivey and Lamb, but Ivey was left in big trouble as he couldn't catch a queen for a chop even. Action checked to Lamb who put out a bet of 25,000. Alan Sass moved all in for 467,000, then Ivey moved all in over the top and Ben Lamb called as well, putting both players at rick.

The turn was the {K-Spades} and that didn’t change anything, but the river was the {10-Spades}, giving Sass a chop, allowing him to stay alive. Meanwhile, Phil Ivey was eliminated with his worse straight.
