Ivey In Action Early On

It didn't take Phil Ivey long to get started.

In the day's first hand, he called a preflop raise by Bernard Perner and went heads up to a flop of {10-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{A-Clubs}. Perner put in a continuation of 16,500 and Ivey called.

The turn brought the {3-Diamonds}, a bet of 27,500 and another call by Ivey. When Perner checked the {9-Diamonds} on the river, Ivey bet 50,000 and took the pot.
