Buckley Doubles Through Ivey
Level 17
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Phil Ivey had limped in from the hijack and was facing a raise to 60,000 from Adrian Buckley in the small blind. Ivey called.
Buckley checked to Ivey on the K♥Q♣3♣ flop and he bet 100,000. Buckey then shoved for approximately 150,000 total and Ivey called to put Buckley at risk.
Adrian Buckley: K♣K♠3♦2♣ 
Phil Ivey: A♦5♣4♣2♠
Buckley had Ivey’s flush draw dominated, and the 9♣ turn improved Buckley to a king-high flush. The 9♥ river changed nothing and Buckley doubled up.
