Ivey's Triple Double

In an amazing comeback, Phil Ivey was down to his last 8,000 in chips a few minutes ago but now sits with close to 100,000 in chips to still have a shot of making this final table.

First Ivey tripled up, making a full house against Daniel Negreanu and Vassilios Lazarou. This put him with a little over 20,000.

He then found himself all in against Jim Paluszek with Paluszek showing ({4-Clubs}{7-Hearts}) {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{5-?}{5-?}. Ivey flipped ({6-Spades}{6-Hearts}) {6-Diamonds}{10-Spades}-X-{K-Spades} for rolled-up sixes as the two players went to the river.

Paluszek squeezed first and found another {5-?} to make a full house and Ivey would need to pair up to survive. Amazingly he squeezed the {K-Clubs} to give him sixes full of kings and a bigger full house to move to around 55,000 in chips.

A few moments later Ivey doubled up again, this time through Daniel Negreanu. Ivey had the {A-Clubs} as his up card with the {A-Spades} in the hole, and it was enough to get past Negreanu's pair of queens as Ivey now sits with 95,000 in chips! Amazing!
