Level 13 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Phil Ivey

Phil Ivey opened to 60,000 from early position and was called by Manig Loeser in the small blind and Stephen Chidwick in the big blind. The flop fell {5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts} and the action checked to Ivey who continued for 75,000. Loeser mucked his hand but Chidwick stuck around to see the {10-Hearts} on the turn.

Both players tapped the table and the {q-Clubs} completed the board. Chidwick led out for 120,000 and Ivey instantly called. Chidwick turned over {9-Hearts}{2-Hearts} but Ivey one-upped him with the {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}.

Both players flopped a flush but it was Ivey who had a look of disappointment after not being able to double up. Jason Mercier couldn't help but laugh at the situation while Ivey slowly stacked his chips.
