Phil Ivey Disposes of The Great Dane

The Great Dane
The Great Dane
Gus Hansen knew he was in big trouble after Phil Ivey quickly called is all-in bet on a flop of {9-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{6-Hearts}. When they tabled the cards, Ivey revealed a made king-high flush leaving Hansen, who showed {10-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}, in a grim predicament.

Drawing to a running full house or straight flush, Hansen conceded defeat after the turn brought the {8-Clubs}, eliminating his chances to hit either miracle draw.

Ivey's win sets up another match-up of Team FullTilt pros, Ivey v. Chris Ferguson.
