Phil Ivey Doubles Up

That's one of the scariest phrases in the poker universe, even this early on. Ivey and three other players saw a {7-Hearts}{7-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} flop and after the big blind checked Ivey bet 500. One player folded, one player called, and then the big blind check-raised to 1,500. Ivey then popped it up to 4,500, the player stuck in the middle got out of the way, and the big blind called Phil's bet.

The {2-Spades} hit on the turn and the big blind check-called Ivey's 8,000 bet. And he also chose to call when the {8-Hearts} fell on the river and Ivey moved in for his last 10,875. Phil then turned over pocket Queens for the flopped full house and doubled his stack to 54,000.
