Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Annica Ivert has played excellent poker throughout this Main Event. Part of excellent poker is taking aggressive chances, and another part is knowing when to surrender. Ivert check-raised Zach Fellows from 11,000 to 36,000 on a flop of {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

{3-Hearts}

{4-Spades}

. Fellows made the call, and then called another 48,000 when the turn fell {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

.

The river was the {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

. Ivert was first to act and tanked for approximately three minutes before betting 68,000. Then it was Fellows' turn to tank, for another a minute, before raising to 180,000. Ivert quickly folded, preserving a stack of 430,000 chips. Fellows is up to 590,000.
