Phil Ivey Scoops a Big One Early, Moves Into Top 10
A good start to the day for Phil Ivey in the $40k NLH Mystery Bounty, after the five-time Triton winner won a big pot early on Day 2 to eliminate Roberto Perez.
It got all-in preflop with Perez ripping for 210,000 and Ivey making the call. Perez held the 5♣5♦, while Ivey had Q♠10♦.
The board ranout 8♠3♦8♦7♦9♦ to give Ivey the superior flush and send him into the top ten counts as the money bubble approaches.
