Ivey Slinging Chips

It looks like Phil Ivey intends to put his Bellagio $5,000 chips to good use. First, he doubled up a short stack after missing a draw to an eight. On the next hand, he moved all in for 14,000 without looking and was called by Todd Brunson. Brunson stood pat against Ivey's one-card draw. When the smoke cleared, Brunson's 10-9 was enough to scoop the pot and propel him to almost 70,000 chips.

After the hand, Ivey exercised a double rebuy. The two tangled again shortly thereafter, with Ivey taking the worst of it a second time and double rebuying yet again.
