Ivey Sees Through Opponent's Strange Play

A player in middle position opens the pot for a raise of 3,200 (5.3x the big blind). Tom "durrrr" Dwan calls from the cutoff, as does Phil Ivey from the big blind. The flop comes {K-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} {4-Clubs} and all three players check. The turn is the {Q-Diamonds} and the original raiser leads out for a minuscule 1,000 into the 10,000+ pot. Dwan folds and Ivey makes the call.

The river brings the {5-Spades} and the player in middle position bets 5,000. Ivey announces a raise and tosses out a single 25,000 chip. His opponent quickly folds and Ivey takes down the pot.
