Level 12
: 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Paul Newey was in the cutoff and opened the action with a raise to 160,000. Doug Polk made it 435,000 from the next seat over and action trickled around to Phil Ivey in the big blind. After about 15 seconds, Ivey reached into his stack and casually flung out 1.1 million in chips. His four-bet was enough to make Newey release his cards immediately.
Polk thought for a moment before kicking his cards in as well. Ivey took down the pot and now has about 8.5 million in chips.
