Ivey Contiunes Climb

[user38971]

Phil Ivey appears to have complete control of his table. Most recently, while sitting in the big blind, Ivey called a 2,000 preflop raise. The flop came {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

{6-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

. Ivey checked-called a 4,000 bet and the turn brought the {2-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

. Both players checked the turn, and the {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

fell on the river. Ivey checked the river, only to have his opponent fire 16,000 into the pot. Ivey counted his chips, then relooked at his cards, counted his chips once more, then slid the 16,000 into the pot. His opponent flipped over A-Q for top two pair, while Ivey turned over {5-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

for the flush. After the hand, Ivey is up to 117,000.
