The hand that cost Phil Ivey big-time on Day 1 of today's $15k NLH 8-Handed came against none other than reigning Triton POY Artur Martirosian.
Martirosian raised to 5,500 from middle position with J♦10♦, and Ivey in the big blind came along for the ride after looking down at 3♥3♦.
The K♣9♣4♥ flop missed both players and Martirosian bet 5,000. Ivey responded with a raise to 15,000, and Martirosian made the call.
The 10♦ turn did give the Russian a better pair, and after Ivey put 35,000 into the middle, Martirosian replied with a call once again.
The 2♠ river card changed nothing, and after Ivey bet for 100,000, Martirosian called for his remaining 85,000 and tournament life, securing a big double.
