Ivey Incinerated

Phil Ivey's chip stack was slowly blinded out for a few levels, and he only had 20 big blinds when he returned. After the dinner break, his stack continued to fall, until he took a stand, getting it all in preflop with {k-Spades}{j-Hearts} against his lone opponent's {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}. Ivey didn't pair up on the {10-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} flop, but he did pick up an inside straight draw. Any paint card would do for Ivey, but he didn't see it on the turn, the {6-Clubs}, or the river, the {6-Hearts}. That put an end to Ivey's day, a day that ended with two finishes short of the money.
