Ivey on the Treadmill

Level 9
: 500/1,000, 0 ante
Phil Ivey has played more than his fair share of hands since coming on the tournament floor late in the 8th level.
We watched as he three-bet JC Tran's 2,300 chip open, potting it to force a fold from Tran. He also picked up the next couple of pots with 2,200-chip opens forcing the blinds and the rest of the table to fold.
But when he defended his big blind against a Chris Moorman 2,400-chip preflop bet, he check-folded to 2,500 more on the 
flop and his stack now sits right about where it was when he started actually playing the event.
