Phil Ivey, within reach of bracelet #7

Phil Ivey completed in the first hand of Stud-8 and Ming Lee made the call. Ivey took control of the betting on fourth, fifth and sixth streets before Lee check-raised his bet on the river. Ivey wasn't phased as he put in yet another raise with Lee making the call.

Ivey: ( {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

{K-Clubs}

{4-Diamonds}

{8-Hearts}

Lee: (X-X-X) {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{K-Hearts}

Ivey made a king-high flush to take down the pot as the first major pot of this heads-up battle goes his way. He's now up to around 1.9 million chips, with Lee back to 900,000.
