Ivey Doubles Through Berman
Level 10
No-Limit Hold'em
With only around 70,000 in the middle and the turn showing J♦10♣2♠3♣, there was a bet of 100,000 in front of Lyle Berman in the big blind. Phil Ivey in the cutoff glanced up from his massage and then moved forward the 370,000 he had behind for Berman to snap-call.
"What do you have over there?" Berman inquired and Ivey exposed his 3♦3♥ for a set.
Berman shook his head and followed that up with an "I can't win ... how much do I owe?" while he flipped over the K♣J♥ for just the top pair, then adding "I got too fancy there".
The 6♥ on the river changed nothing and Ivey doubled for 370,000 to get back to where he was earlier in the day.
