Smith Grinding Ivey Down

Level 47 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante

Phil Ivey raised to 25,000 on the button, and John Smith called. Smith check-shipped over Ivey's continuation-bet of 25,000 on the {9-Clubs}{8-Spades}{8-Diamonds} flop, and Ivey folded.

Ivey called preflop shortly after, and Smith checked. Ivey fired out 12,000 on the {6-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades} flop, and Smith called. When both players checked the {a-Clubs} turn, the {2-Diamonds} hit and prompted another check from Ivey. Smith took the pot with a 25,000 bet.

It was Ivey's turn to win one shortly thereafter, as he raised to 30,000 and was called. Action checked until the board read {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{5-Spades}, and Ivey raised to 40,000 after Smith bet 16,000. Smith mucked.
