Ivey on the Hunt for Number Twelve
Level 7
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
A player in early position raised to 3,000 and was called by Phil Ivey on the button, fresh off his 11th bracelet win in the $10,000 2-7 Triple Draw, and Bart Hanson in the big blind.
The Q♥2♠6♠ flop was checked to Ivey, who placed a bet of 8,000 chips. Hanson folded before the other opponent called.
On the 7♠ turn, Ivey fired 15,000 chip and was again check-called before the K♥ river was knuckled by both.
Ivey showed A♦8♥6♣5♥3♦ for the nut low, while his opponent tabled A♠J♥9♣4♠2♥ for the nut flush, and the two chopped up the pot.
