Ivey Enters and Finds a Quick Double

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

A player raised to 6,000 from early position and action folded to Phil Ivey, who shoved for 29,000 from the small blind. His opponent called to put Ivey at risk and a showdown was held.

Phil Ivey: 88All in
Opponent: A10

It was a coin flip, but the 9QJ46 runout kept Ivey's eights best for the double up.

Meanwhile, Scott Seiver and Chris Vitch, who also max late-regged, busted at other tables.
