Ivey Loses a Little
Level 14
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Phil Ivey opened the action for a raise and found a caller in the other big stack at the table, Mehrdad Yousefzadeh. The flop came 
and Ivey continued with his pre-flop aggression by making a bet of 11,000. Yousefzadeh raised it to 25,500 and after a few seconds of contemplation, Ivey tossed out a call.
The turn was the 
and both players checked. They would repeat this on the 
river. Ivey shrugged and turned over 
and did not seem surprised when Yousefzadeh turned over the winner with 
for queens and tens. Ivey did a quiet tap on the table with a stack of his chips having dropped to 425,000 after the hand. Yousefzadeh, in the meantime, moved up to 660,000.
