Jim Becthel Puts the Pressure On Early

Phil Ivey raised to 5,000 from early position and got looked up by Jim Bechtel, Carlos Mortensen and Tom Dwan. Mortensen drew one card as did Bechtel. Ivey and Dwan opted for two cards. Action checked to Bechtel and he bet 17,000. No one could call and Bechtel took the pot without a showdown, climbing to over 100,000 chips.
