Straver Bombs the River
Level 10
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Action folded around to the blinds, where Johannes Straver called from the small blind and Phil Ivey raised to 48,000 from the big blind. Straver called.
Straver check-called a 40,000 bet from Ivey on the Q♥K♣5♥ flop and then both players checked on the 7♠ turn.
The 8♦ completed the board and Straver overbet the pot for 270,000. Ivey burned up a couple time extensions before opting to lay his hand down and Straver collected the pot.
