Welcome to the Game

Well, he's not wasting any time trying to earn back his blinds.

Phil Ivey just sat down and played his very first hand against the aforementioned Ted Forrest. Forrest limped in from middle position, and Ivey raised to 1,200 from the small blind.

The flop came {9-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} {J-Clubs}, and both men checked.

The turn brought the {K-Spades}. Ivey fired out this time with a bet of 1,000, enough to take down his first pot of the event. He still has some work to do to get back to his starting stack though, but he is getting closer now at 4,100.
