Tilly Leads Into Ivey

Phil Ivey opened for a raise in the cutoff, and Jennifer Tilly defended her big blind. She check-called $4,000 on the {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}, and then another $11,000 on the {2-Spades} turn. On the {j-Clubs} river, Tilly fired out $20,000, and Ivey thought things over for awhile before mucking.

If anyone expected Tilly to nit it up in the face of a table full of experienced high-stakes grinders, that hasn't been the case at all. Tilly has not been afraid to mix it up thus far, playing both in and out of position and appearing to take down her share of pots so far.
