Smooth Eight for Ivey
Level 5
: 250/500, 0 ante
A player in late position raised and Phil Ivey called from the small blind, then both drew two cards. Ivey check-called a bet from his opponent, then drew two again while the original raiser stood pat. Once again, Ivey checked and called when his opponent bet.
On the third draw Ivey took one card, then led with a bet which his opponent called. Ivey then tabled 
for a smooth eight. "Eight-six perfect," exhaled his opponent as he tossed his cards face down toward the dealer.
