Ivey Down, Back Up

After losing a few chips, Phil Ivey called a button-raise from the small blind and saw a {7-Hearts}

flop.

He and his opponent took a free card as the {Q-Diamonds}

hit fourth street. Ivey bet 4,000 and the player on the button called, leading to the {A-Diamonds}

on fifth street. Ivey bet 8,000 and his opponent called, insta-mucking when Ivey tabled {7-Diamonds}

for a flush.

After the hand, Ivey is sitting on a stack of 148,000.
