Ivey Out

We missed the hand, however, we were filled in on what happened from Phil Ivey's tablemates.

The player on the button opened to 350 and was three-bet to 1,200 by Ivey in the big blind. Ivey's opponent called to see a flop, which brought {8-}{7-}{2-}.

Ivey led out for another 1,200 and his opponent made the call. The turn brought the {J-Diamonds} and Ivey led out again for 3,000. His opponent raised enough to put Ivey all in and Ivey called to put his tournament life at risk.

Ivey: {8-}{7-} for two-pair.
Opponent: {10-}{9-} for a straight.

The {5-Spades} bricked for Ivey and he was sent to the rail.
