Ivey's Psychic Abilities

After Phil Ivey made it 400 to go preflop from middle position, the player immediately to his left called and the button attempted to move all-in, but the way he moved his chips was deemed as only a call by the dealer. The big blind called as well, which sent four players to the flop.

Flop: {3-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{2-Spades}

All players checked to the button, who moved all in for his remaining 2,000. Ivey was the only one who called, and although his opponent held a monster {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}, Ivey appeared to be all-knowing and showed {4-Spades}{5-Spades} for the nut straight. After the hand, Ivey is up to 14,750.
