Ivey Takes Time to Play a Hand

Omaha-8

Phil Ivey has been turned almost all the way around in his chair for most of the tournament so that he can watch the Lakers game on the big screen behind him. He did take a few moments away from the game to play this hand.

The flop came down {K-Clubs}

and the small blind checked. Phil Ivey was in the big blind and fired a bet. One player from middle position called and then the small blind called. The turn was the {7-Clubs}

and it was checked to Ivey again. He bet once more and both players called.

The river was the {10-Spades}

and Ivey fired again after the first player checked. The next player raised and then the first player and Ivey both called.

The player that raised on the river held {A-Hearts}
