They Look Like Aces, Might As Well Play 'em Like Aces

We came on this one on the flop -- {J-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{7-Diamonds}. A short-stacked player in the big blind was already all in, up against three opponents, including Phil Ivey. The first two checked, and Ivey fired out 10,000 into the dry side pot. The first player pondered, asked Ivey if he held jack-ten, then folded, as did the second player.

The cards were then revealed, and Ivey showed {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}. The big blind turned over eight-deuce. The turn was the {3-Clubs} and river {Q-Diamonds}, and Ivey took the pot. He's now up to 85,000.
