Phil Ivey now has more than 50% of chips in play

Dutch Boyd raised preflop from the button and Phil Ivey defended his big blind. They checked a flop of {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{4-Clubs}

{7-Diamonds}

before a repeat {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

hit the turn.

Ivey fired out a bet and Boyd made the call. The river was the {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

and again Ivey bet with Boyd calling.

Ivey tabled {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

{J-Clubs}

{A-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

and the jacks were good as Boyd sighed and mucked. Boyd is now one mistake from elimination with Ivey up to a staggering 1.48 million - in excess of 50% of the chips in play.
