Four players saw the flop come down {K-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} with 400 in the pot, but it was more like three players and Phil Ivey, or three players versus Ivey.

Anyway, action was checked by the first three players to Ivey and he bet 275. Fold, call, fold were the actions following his bet and then the {8-Hearts} hit the felt on the turn. Ivey's lone opponent now checked and Ivey bet 1,500. Yes it was an overbet, but the player only had 1,150 left, so Ivey was looking to make him commit all of his chips if the player were to make the call. A long tanking process ensued by the unknown player before he committed the chips and saw the bad news.

Ivey held the {A-Spades}{K-Spades} and was ahead of the all-in player's {K-Diamonds}{J-Spades}. The river completed the board with the {4-Clubs} and Ivey won the pot. Although the player had to hit the rail early on Day 1b, he can at least leave with the story that he was eliminated by Phil Ivey, who is now up to about 6,500 chips.
