Ivey Quarters his Opponent

Phil Ivey raised from early position, and both blinds called to see a {j-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{2-Diamonds} flop. Both blinds checked to him, and he fired a bet. The small blind then raised, and the big blind ran for cover. Ivey called. The turn brought the {2-Clubs}, and the small blind check-raised Ivey again. And the man with the stare called. After the {8-Clubs} on the river, the small blind bet out. It was Ivey's turn to raise, and his opponent just called.

Ivey showed {a-Spades}{10-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} to his opponent's {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades}. The dealer was about to chop the whole pot since the players both had ace-high with 8-4-3-2-A lows. But the table quickly stopped him, pointing out that Ivey's ace-ten was good enough to take the top half of the pot, leaving his opponent with just a quarter.
