Ivey Closes the Gap
Level 47
: 6,000/12,000, 0 ante
John Smith raised on the button to 25,000, Phil Ivey called from the big blind and the flop came down 
. Ivey led out for 25,000, Smith called and both checked the 
turn. The 
river completed the board and Ivey shoved for about 80,000. Smith gave it some thought, but ultimately folded.
A few hands later Ivey limped on the button and Smith checked his option. The flop came down 
and Smith check-called 12,000 from Ivey to see the 
turn. Smith check-called another 30,000 from Ivey, landing the 
river where Smith checked for a third time. Ivey bet 75,000, but this time Smith couldn't find a call.
