Ivey In Every Hand...

[user76023]

Phil Ivey likes playing lots of hands of poker, in fact he played all of the last three.

First he raised UTG to 15,000 but folded to Roberto Romanello's 3-bet out of the small blind.

Next Romanello raised the button to 15,000 but folded to Ivey's big blind 3-bet to 70,000.

Finally Ivey raised to 17,000 from the small blind against Tony G. The latter folded to a 25,000 bet on the {Q-Diamonds}

flop.
