Ivey Up, Ivey Down
Level 2
: 75/150, 0 ante
Phil Ivey is mixing it up early and often on Day 1a.
He raised to 400 in middle position and found callers from the player in the cutoff and Theo Jorgensen in the big blind. The flop came down 

and Jorgensen checked. Ivey bet 800, only getting called by the player in the cutoff. The
turn and
river were checked by both, with Ivey showing 
to take down the pot.
The next hand, he and an opponent each committed at least 4,000 preflop, checking down a 



board. Ivey's opponent showed 
, besting Ivey's holdings.
The end result? Ivey is down to about 17,000.
