Ivey in Action

Shamus

Valerie Ross was just now all in for her tournament life for her last 26,100 with {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{10-Clubs}

, and found herself up against Phil Ivey's {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

{9-Hearts}

.

The flop came {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

{3-Hearts}

, and Ivey was still ahead. The turn was the {5-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

, and Ross was still looking for an ace or a ten.

Then came the river -- the {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

-- and Ross survives. Ivey won a couple of pots in the early going, and so still sits with about 350,000 at the moment.
