Ivey Can't Beat Aces

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

A middle position player opened to 14,000 and Phil Ivey defended in the big blind.

Ivey checked on the flop of 10J8 and his opponent checked back. Ivey checked again on the 10 turn and his opponent again checked back.

The Q river also checked through and Ivey showed KJ for a pair of jacks, but it was no good as his opponent showed AA73 to win the pot with a pair of aces.
