No Home Jerome Not Homeless... Yet

Phil Ivey was recently crippled in a hand, then somehow eliminated an even shorter stack the very next hand. Ivey couldn't beat aces and queens on a board of {q-Clubs} {k-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {q-Hearts} despite leading the flop and turn. When both players checked the river and Ivey saw his opponent's {a-Hearts} {a-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {2-Clubs}, he double-checked his own hand.

"Aces and queens?" he asked the dealer. The dealer said yes. Ivey nodded and mucked.

Ivey raised the next hand from middle position, then called a short stack's re-raise. The two players got it in on a flop of {7-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {3-Spades}. Ivey's {a-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {j-Hearts} {j-Clubs} was almost a freeroll against his opponent {a-Diamonds} {2-Spades} {5-Spades} {q-Clubs}. No low came in as the turn fell {9-Clubs} and river came {3-Hearts}. Ivey made treys full of jacks to scoop the pot and send his opponent home early.
