Ivey Refuses to Pull the Trigger
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
David "Bakes Baker and Phil Ivey were heads-up going to the flop of J♦7♥5♥. Baker checked to Ivey who bet 16,000 and Baker check-raised to 36,000. Ivey called and the 8♥ landed on the turn.
Baker led out with a bet of 62,000 and Ivey stuck around for the A♥ on the river. Baker checked this time and Ivey took a quick peek at his cards. He thought for a minute and then checked it back. Baker flipped over 7♣7♦ for a set of sevens and Ivey sheepishly mucked his cards.
