Ivey Rakes One In

Phil Ivey was down below starting stack, but has since risen above it again, thanks to the following hand. When we arrived at the table, Ivey was in the small blind and he and the button player were committing 1,325 each through unknown action.

On the {k-Clubs}{3-Spades}{6-Hearts} flop, Ivey led flicked out a bet of 2,000 and his opponent made the call. The {6-Spades} on the turn would see Ivey tumble a bet of 4,500 out onto the felt - leaving himself with less than 2,000 behind. The player looked at Ivey's stack several time before deciding to let it go, sending the pot to Ivey.
