Speaking Of

Shamus

One of those uncomfortable seats just alluded to has been opened for someone else to be seated in it. And squirm.

The flop had come {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

{9-Spades}

{8-Diamonds}

, and Berj Kacherian -- sitting to Ivey's right -- checked from the SB. Ivey bet 10,000, and Kacherian called. The turn was the {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

. Kacherian again checked, and this time Ivey pushed all in. Kacherian made the call, turning over {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{2-Spades}

for top pair and the nut flush draw. Ivey showed {7-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

{6-Diamonds}

for a flopped straight.

The river was the {7-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

, and Kacherian is out. Ivey now is up to 120,000.
