Ivey Finds Fold Against Li
Seven Card Stud
Yingui Li: XxXx/2♠J♠5♠Q♣/Xx
Christopher Claassen: XxXx/A♣7♥2♦ - folded fifth street
Phil Ivey: XxXx/A♥2♥A♠9♦/Xx
Richard Bai: XxXx/4♠Q♦J♥ - folded fifth street
The action was caught on fourth street, where Christopher Claassen checked to Phil Ivey. Ivey fired a bet and received a call from Richard Bai and Yingui Li, as well as Claassen.
On fifth street Ivey paired his ace and he bet again. Bai got out of the way before Li raised with three spades showing. Claassen also added his cards to the muck before Ivey made the call.
Ivey check-called a seemingly inconsequential sixth street before Li jammed all in for 16,000 on seventh street. Ivey thought about it for a bit but ultimately scooped up his cards and added them to the muck, seeing the big pot shipped to the last Chinese player in the field.
