Phil Ivey raised to 25,000 on the button, and John Smith called. Smith check-shipped over Ivey's continuation-bet of 25,000 on the 
flop, and Ivey folded.
Ivey called preflop shortly after, and Smith checked. Ivey fired out 12,000 on the 
flop, and Smith called. When both players checked the 
turn, the 
hit and prompted another check from Ivey. Smith took the pot with a 25,000 bet.
It was Ivey's turn to win one shortly thereafter, as he raised to 30,000 and was called. Action checked until the board read 
, and Ivey raised to 40,000 after Smith bet 16,000. Smith mucked.
