In an Omaha-8 hand, Phil Ivey was within a spade of the bracelet, but incredibly the river was a cruel blow, giving Ming Lee an unlikely scoop.

Ming Lee raised the button before Phil Ivey reraised the big blind. Lee called and they saw a flop of {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

{7-Hearts}

{3-Diamonds}

. Ivey led out and Lee made the call.

The turn was the {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

and after a series of raises, Lee's last chips were in the middle.

Lee: {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

{K-Hearts}

{6-Spades}

{5-Diamonds}

Ivey:

{A-Diamonds}

{K-Spades}

{9-Clubs}

{2-Spades}

Ivey held the nut low as the fans were all on their feet in anticipation of a potential spade on the river that would give Ivey a flush to better Lee's made straight. However, the twist came when the {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

fell, to not only miss Ivey's flush but to also give Lee a better low!

Lee doubles to 650,000 with Ivey on 2.15 million.
