Ivey and Miller Building Stacks

Badeucey

Dylan Smith raised from the cutoff and was called by Phil Ivey in the small blind and Ryan Miller in the big blind.

Ivey then drew three cards, Miller drew two, and Smith drew one. The action checked to Smith, who fired out a bet and received two calls.

On the second draw, Ivey drew one card, Miller still drew two, and Smith stood pat. Smith placed another bet, which Ivey check-called. Miller, however, check-raised and saw both of his opponents come along to the final draw.

Ivey decided to stay pat, while Miller needed one fresh card. Seeing the previous action, Smith decided to exchange two cards. After the draw, Ivey checked to Miller, who bet again. Smith quickly threw away his cards before Ivey tossed in a call.

Miller tabled 9♦7♣6♦5♥4♠ for a nine-low and seven-badugi, which awarded him half the pot when Ivey showed 7♦6♥4♦3♥2♠ for a better low.
