Ivey's Double Up Captured by Negreanu
Level 7
Pot-Limit Omaha
Phil Ivey and Jeff Madsen were heads-up on the turn with the board showing 8♣4♣Q♦2♠. Madsen then bet from the big blind before Ivey moved all in from under the gun for around 50,000. Madsen sighed and eventually called.
Madsen showed A♦A♥J♠J♥, but Ivey had 9♠8♠5♦2♦ and was ahead with two pair. Daniel Negreanu came over from another table and began filming the action as the 9♣ completed the board, giving Ivey a double up.
"I know Phil loves when I do this. Smile for the people, Phil," Negreanu said.
"What people," Ivey replied.
"There are millions watching. This man is a professional. Where do you have to be playing nine-eight-five-deuce? And people laugh at me and the hands I play," Negreanu added.
