Ivey Sticking Around

[user75032]

There hasn't been much upward or downward movement for Phil Ivey the last few levels. He's still planted at a table in the center of the room, still glued to the coverage of the Masters.

He did take a break long enough to play a hand. He bet a {7-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

{q-Hearts}

{10-Spades}

flop and was called by an out-of-position player. Both men checked the {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

turn. When Ivey's opponent also checked the {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

river, Ivey fired out for 15,000. His opponent called but mucked when Ivey flipped {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

for a Broadway straight.

Ivey's sitting behind about 80,000 chips.
