Lamb Bets Out Ivey on the River
Level 4
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Ben Lamb opened to 35,000 from the cutoff and Phil Ivey called in the big blind.
They saw a flop of A♦7♥2♣, where Ivey check-called a bet of 25,000 from Lamb to see the 8♠ turn. Again Ivey checked, and again Lamb bet, this time for 75,000. Ivey took around 15 seconds before he called.
A K♦ completed the board and after Ivey checked for a third time, Lamb put out 190,000. Ivey leant back in his chair and while he mulled it over, but did eventually fold, forfeiting the pot to Lamb.
