Ivey Hits the Rail

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

We arrived at the table on the turn, with Phil Ivey all in and at risk against John Bao. The board read {3-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and the two player's cards were face up.

Ivey: {k-Spades}{q-Spades}
Bao: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}

Ivey was behind but had some outs to win the hand on the river. He needed the ace of clubs or one of the three non-diamond nines to win the hand. Any diamond would chop the pot. The river brought the {6-Clubs} and Ivey would be eliminated.
