Ivey Rivers a Straight

Level 7 : 200/400, 0 ante

Four players each put in 400 to see a flop of {8-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{4-Spades}. Two checks saw a player bet, Phil Ivey call off his last 100 and then some three and four-bets occur. As a raising war played out between the other three players on both the {K-Spades} turn and {6-Clubs} river, Ivey sat quietly.

When it was time for the showdown, Ivey waited for his opponents to reveal their hands for the sizable side pot.

Player 1: {a-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{8-Diamonds}
Player 2: {a-Spades}{2-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{q-Spades}
Player 3: {a-Spades}{2-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{2-Spades}

As Ivey was waiting for the side pot to get sorted out, he flipped over the {7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and joked with the dealer, "I get half of that."

Ivey was referring to the gigantic side pot, which made his main pot look quite paltry. Ivey has great powers but was unable to convince the dealer to push him that pot. Instead he had to settle for half the main pot.
