That's a Hand

At the end of the Omaha-8 round, on a flop of {10-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}, Phil Ivey bets, Doyle Brunson raises, and Ivey calls. The turn is the {10-Hearts}. Ivey bets, Brunson raises, Ivey reraises, and Brunson calls. The river is the {9-Hearts}. Ivey bets. Brunson thinks about it a long time and folds. Ivey has 79,000 after this hand and Brunson has only 23,000.

Youth vs. Experience

Doyle Brunson just moved over to Phil Ivey's table. Brunson, of course, is a worldwide icon in poker, and Ivey may be the one to whom Brunson will one day pass that torch. They play sky high in golf, sports-betting, and poker, and here they're battling each other again for a HORSE bracelet.

Kravchenko Beats Up Phil Ivey

On to Omaha-8. Phil Ivey raises in the small blind and Alex Kravchenko calls in the big blind. The flop is {J-Spades}{9-Spades}{2-Diamonds}. Ivey bets, Kravchenko raises, and Ivey calls. The turn is the {6-Clubs}. Ivey checks, Kravchenko bets, and Ivey calls. The river is the {K-Spades}. Same pattern. Kravchenko shows {A-Spades}{3-Spades}{J-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} for the ace-high flush (high). There is no low, and Ivey mucks. Kravchenko is up to 86,000. Ivey is down to 42,400.
