George Caragiorgas Doubles Through Phil Ivey

George Caragiorgas opened for 400,000 from UTG, Phil Ivey reraised to 1,150,000 from the small blind, Caragiorgas moved all in for just a bit more and Ivey called.

Cargiorgas {2-Clubs} {2-Spades}
Ivey {A-Clubs} {10-Hearts}

Though it typically gets quite noisy in here at the feature table during an all-in, it was unusually quiet during this confrontation as the Ivey fans braced themselves.

The flop was {J-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} {3-Clubs}, the deuces holding. The turn was the {9-Spades}, the river was the {4-Clubs} and Caragiorgas doubled up to 2.64 million. Ivey was left with 5,435,000.

"Taking chips off Phil is not the way to make friends with this crowd," quipped Tournament Director Brooks Turk.
