Ivey Wins Some

He's still by far the shortest stack, but there's always hope left for Phil Ivey. Joe Cassidy just raised from the small blind and Ivey defended his big. The flop came down {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{7-Spades} and Cassidy check-called.

The turn was the {J-Diamonds} and Cassidy check-folded to Ivey's bet.

The next hand Cassidy raised the button and Ivey three-bet from the small blind. Nguyen folded and Cassidy made the call. The flop came down {Q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{2-Clubs} and Cassidy called Ivey's bet. The turn was the {3-Hearts} and Ivey check-called. The river was the {6-Diamonds} and Ivey check-called once more.

Cassidy showed {7-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} and locked up the high while Ivey got the other half with {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{2-Diamonds}.

From the button Phil Ivey raised, and Scotty Nguyen three-bet from the big blind. Ivey called and the flop was the {9-Hearts}{4-Spades}{3-Hearts}. Nguyen bet and Ivey moved all in for 100,000. Nguyen called.

Scotty Nguyen{A-Hearts}{10-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}
Phil Ivey{A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{2-Spades}

Ivey was in bad shape and the {3-Spades} on the turn didn't help him. The {5-Clubs} on the river did since both players made the wheel. The pot got chopped and Ivey stayed alive.

Phil Ivey raised from the small blind, and Scotty Nguyen defended his big blind to kick things off. The flop came down {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}{10-Spades}, and Nguyen called Ivey's bet.

A couple of hands later, Ivey raised from the button and Cassidy defended his big blind. On a {Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{8-Spades} the hand got checked all the way to the river where Ivey called a bet from his opponent. Cassidy showed {J-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{X-}{x-} and mucked when Ivey turned over {K-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}. Two crucial pots for Ivey who is still in it!

A couple of hands later Ivey raised on the button and Nguyen three-bet him from the small blind. The flop came down {10-Spades}{6-Clubs}{6-Hearts} after Ivey had called and he called once more. On the turn, the {5-Clubs}, Ivey called another bet only to fold when Nguyen put out another 80,000 on the {5-Hearts} river.
