Phil Ivey Takes His First Pot

[user22113]

It's understandable that players might be a bit hesitant entering a pot against Phil Ivey, so when Ivey joined two other limpers in a pot the blinds went along for the ride. After an ominous {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{A-Diamonds}

{K-Spades}

flop the action was checked around, and when the {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

turned Ivey called a 200 bet from the player in the big blind. The big blind checked the {7-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

on the river and elected to call Ivey's 600 bet. Ivey turned over the {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

for the backdoor flush and took down his first pot of the World Series.
