Chopping With Ivey = Win

With 4,225 in the pot and the flop reading {8-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{8-Spades}, the preflop raiser led out for 2,000 and Phil Ivey smooth-called as the other two active players released their hand.

The turn landed the {A-Diamonds} and Ivey again called a bet; this time amounting to 5,000 as the {K-Hearts} rolled off on the river.

The preflop raiser checked and Ivey casually tossed a 5,000-denomination chip into the pot to put his opponent deep into the tank.

Eventually - after nearly two minutes passed - Ivey's opponent made the call tabling her {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} to match Ivey's {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}.

With the pot chopped up, Ivey climbs a little to slightly over 34,000 in chips.
