Level 7 : 300/600, 75 ante
Phil Ivey now sits with 90,000 chips.
Phil Ivey now sits with 90,000 chips.

Four players, including Phil Ivey, saw a flop of {7-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} for the price of 1,600 chips. Everybody checked and the turn brought the {6-Spades}. A gentlemen in early position fired 5,000, one player folded, another player called and then Ivey cooly tossed out four blue T5,000 chips, raising to 20,000. The original bettor tanked for no less than two minutes, called off almost half of his stack and the remaining player folded.

The river was the {6-Clubs} and Ivey's opponent instantly moved all in. Ivey called even quicker, tabling {7-Clubs}{7-Spades} for a full house. His opponent unhappily flashed {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for a worse full house and hit the rail.

Look out Daniel Negreanu, Ivey has 90,000 chips now and is among the chip leaders.
