Ivey Put On the Spot
2-7 Razz
Richard Bai: XxXx/3♦5♥9♣5♦/Xx
Yingui Li: XxXx/4♦J♦A♣ - folded fifth street
Phil Ivey: XxXx/7♣9♥9♦7♥/Xx
Richard Bai completed with a three up and Yingui Li called with a four. Phil Ivey then raised with a seven showing and both Bai and Li called.
Bai caught best on fourth street and led out. Li called before Ivey raised again and received calls from both his opponents once more.
Bai still had the best board on fifth street and bet out again. Li folded his ace-low board, but Ivey stuck around with his paired board. Ivey then double-paired on sixth street but still called a bet from Bai.
Bai tossed in a final bet on seventh street, sending Ivey into a tank of several minutes. Eventually, the poker legend mucked his hand as he forfeited the pot to Bai.
