Ivey Triples Up
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
An under-the-gun player opened the action to 24,000 and it folded around to Alon Yehudai who made the call. Matt Stout moved all in from the cutoff for 150,000 chips and Phil Ivey called all in for his last 75,000 chips.
The under-the-gun player folded but Yehudai called and players went three-ways to a full board with two of them at risk.
Phil Ivey: A♠J♦5♠4♦ 
Matt Stout: K♦K♥Q♦5♣
Alon Yehudai: A♦K♠3♦3♣
The board ran out J♠9♠8♠9♣4♠ and Ivey found his triple up. Stout also won a side pot to stay alive.
