Ivey Pushing 30K

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Phil Ivey had 5K less than fifteen minutes ago. He doubled up and since then, he increased his stack to almost 30,000. He has been bullying the players at his table. Here's an example...

Hal Chu limped from UTG. Ivey raised to 1,000. The small blind called. Chu raised to 8,000. Ivey moved all in for 20,300. Both his opponents folded as they sunk into their seats. Ivey dragged the pot. The more chips he gets, the more fear his opponents are playing with.
