Some You Win Some You Lose

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Barny Boatman and Phil Ivey saw a {A-Clubs}

flop before the former check-raised Ivey's 15,000 bet up to 40,000. Ivey stared at his opponent then raised this bet up to 90,000. Boatman had looked edgy but was fidgeting as well now before he let the hand go.

The next time Ivey was in the BB he called a button raise from [Removed:197] to see a {K-Hearts}

flop. They both checked before Ivey fired 15,000 on the {K-Spades}

turn. [Removed:198] called before they both checked the {Q-Clubs}

river. Ivey opened {J-?}

but [Removed:198] took the pot with {5-Clubs}

.

Phil Ivey might not win them all but he's always trying to finds way to do so.
