Ivey Pieces Together the Puzzle Against Koon
Level 7
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Phil Ivey opened from under the gun and got Santhosh Suvarna and Jason Koon coming along from the blinds.
The flop came 2♦3♦3♥, and when it got to Ivey, he bet 12,000. Suvarna called, then Koon raised to 40,000. Both Ivey and Suvarna called.
A 2♠ dropped on the turn, and once Suvarna checked, Koon bet 40,000. Ivey took some time before he called, and Suvarna quickly folded.
When the J♠ landed on the river, Koon bet enough to cover Ivey, who had around 120,000 behind. Ivey was in the tank and burned through a few of his time banks, then eventually made the call to put himself at risk.
Koon flipped 6♥4♥ for a missed straight draw, and Ivey tabled 10♦10♣ for a pair of tens to scoop the pot.
