Ivey Cut in Half

We caught up with the action on a {A-Spades}{K-Spades}{9-Diamonds} flop in a three-handed pot. It appeared the player in the big blind had checked, another player in the cutoff went all in for about 30,000 and action was on Phil Ivey on the button.

Ivey thought his decision through and eventually committed calling chips. The player in the big folded and hands were revealed.

Ivey: {Q-Spades}{9-Spades} for a pair of nines with a flush draw.
Opponent: {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} for top pair.

Ivey was need to hit a spade or a nine to scoop the pot, however, the {J-Clubs} turn and {4-Hearts} river bricked for him and he was knocked down to 33,000.
