Phil Ivey

Phil Ivey managed to double up in the waning minutes of the day through an unknown opponent.

We caught up to the hand with the board showing {7-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

{2-Spades}

{2-Hearts}

{J-Diamonds}

and about 60,000 already in the middle. Ivey checked, his opponent bet 27,000 and Ivey called.

The river brought the {3-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

and Ivey checked once more, prompting his opponent to move all in, putting Ivey to a decision for all of his chips (about 70,000).

Ivey made the call and his opponent tabled {5-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

for nothing but a missed flush draw. Ivey collected the 245,000 pot with a meager {5-Spades}

{5-Spades}

{5-Diamonds}

.
