Phil Ivey - Ice Cold

Phil Ivey raised to open the pot, and Chris Bjorin three-bet him. Ivey called and saw a flop of {4-Spades}

{4-Spades}

{7-Spades}

{K-Hearts}

. Bjorin bet out, and Ivey called. Fourth street brought the {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

, and Bjorin fired again. Ivey raised this time, in doing so putting himself all in, and Bjorin put him to the test.

Showdown
Ivey: {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{J-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{10-Hearts}

Bjorin:

{A-Diamonds}

{A-Clubs}

{3-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

Ivey had the top half nearly locked up after catching his third-of-a-kind on fourth street. Needing to dodge only a non-spade ace or five to stay alive and a low card to scoop, Ivey found the {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

on the river. He took down the full pot, doubling his way up to 110,000, now even with Bjorin.
