Ivey's Around to Play a Hand

MarcC

Phil Ivey, the third person to act, makes it 800 to play and only finds a caller from a player in the cut-off before the flop comes {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{9-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

.

Ivey continues his aggression with a 1,300 bet but his opponent is not detered and makes the call before the turn comes {5-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

.

Ivey studies his opponent, fiddles with his chips and decides 3,000 is the right amount to bet. Again he finds a caller before the river brought a {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

. This time Ivey slows down and checks, as does his opponent.

Ivey flips over {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

but lost out to his opponent's {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{Q-Diamonds}

shrinking his stack to 17,850.
