Ivey Back in Business Thanks To Aces
Level 23
: Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
Phil Ivey raised to 1,600,000 from the button and Jesse Lonis jammed from the big blind to put Ivey at risk. Ivey called immediately for his stack of 10,300,000.
Phil Ivey: A♠A♦ 
Jesse Lonis: A♥3♦
Ivey had the preflop nuts and was able to avoid a bad beat on the 8♦5♥J♦10♣7♠ runout, as Lonis' ace-trey was drawing dead by the turn.
