Ivey Clinging On

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

Phil Ivey has done nothing but decline here on Day 2, but he just won a pot that has him headed back in the right direction.

It happened when Bill Chen opened for 1,600 from early position and action folded to Ivey, who called from the big blind. Ivey had just 1,700 behind, and it went in after he checked the {6-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{8-Clubs} flop and Chen bet.

"You have a set?" Ivey asked halfheartedly. Chen responded in the negative and explained he felt compelled to call with the {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}. Ivey tabled the {6-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for bottom pair and the lead. The {7-Spades} turn was safe for the nine-time bracelet winner, and the {K-Diamonds} river gave him a much-needed double.
