Ivey Pushes Over the Century Mark

Now over 100K
Now over 100K
There was about 5,000 chips in the pot on the flop of {8-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {2-Clubs}. Phil Ivey tossed out a bet of 2,500 from middle position and his opponent on the button raised to 6,000. Ivey then jacked the action back up to 20,000 and his opponent called.

The turn brought the {Q-Diamonds} and Ivey moved all in, putting the pressure on the other player. After over four minutes under the microscope of the ESPN cameras, members of the media, and that piercing Ivey staredown, the player folded.

Ivey is now at 105,000 chips.
