Ivey Takes a Hit

Stud

John Monnette: {x-} {x-} / {2-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {9-Clubs} {a-Hearts} / {x-}
Phil Ivey: {x-} {x-} / {5-Hearts} {k-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {q-Clubs} / {x-}

Monnette brought it in, Ivey completed, and Monnette called. Ivey led out on fourth street, Monnette called, and then Ivey slowed down, check-called a bet on fifth.

Monnette made a better board on sixth, and led out. Ivey called, and both players checked on seventh.

"Sevens," Monnette said, tabling {j-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {6-Clubs} .
