Here Comes Ivey!

[user67765]

Phil Ivey has just taken down back-to-back pots from Carlos Mortensen during Omaha-8. In the first hand Ivey made a straight holding {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

{9-Hearts}

{8-Diamonds}

{3-Hearts}

on a board of {7-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

{7-Clubs}

{10-Spades}

{9-Diamonds}

{6-Hearts}

to crack the kings of Mortensen.

He followed that up by getting three streets of value with {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{A-Clubs}

{A-Diamonds}

{5-Hearts}

on a

{J-Hearts}

{3-Clubs}

{8-Spades}

{3-Spades}

{8-Hearts}

board.

Suddenly Ivey is up to 560,000 with Mortensen falling to 335,000.
