Dejan Kaladjurdjevic
Dejan Kaladjurdjevic

Dejan Kaladjurdjevic made it 65,000 from the cutoff with Phil Ivey calling on the button, and Kayhan Mokri defending his big blind.

Mokri checked the 4JJ flop, and Kaladjurdjevic continued with a bet of 50,000. Ivey stuck around, but Mokri let his hand go.

Kaladjurdjevic didn't slow down on the A turn, as he pushed out a bet of 85,000. Once again, Ivey called.

The 3 river prompted Kaladjurdjevic to fire a third barrel in the form of an overbet for 750,000. Ivey pondered for quite some time, and began counting together the calling chips. However, in the end, he thought better of it and slid his cards back to the dealer.
