Ivey Cut Down

The gentleman in the hijack opened for 1,100, only for Yuji Masaki cutoff to make it 2,800. In the big blind, Phil Ivey went all in. The hijack folded, but Masaki called all in, barely covered by Ivey.

Ivey: {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}
Masaki: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}

Flop: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}

No help there.

Turn: bink! {q-Spades}

Ivey was suddenly in the lead.

River: re-bink! {k-Hearts}

The better hand won in the end, and after a cruel glimpse of hope on the turn, Ivey was crippled. He remained in the game, but was down to just 1,900.
