Ivey Starts Off With a Knockout
Level 11
: 1,000/2,000, 0 ante
Ten-time WSOP bracelet winner Phil Ivey raised to 7,000 from the button, and the small blind three-bet to 25,000. Ivey called, then quickly called on the 
flop when his opponent jammed his last 20,000 in the pot.
Opponent: 
Phil Ivey: 
Ivey's pair of aces and straight draw were ahead of his opponent's kings and a straight draw, but the 
turn gave Ivey's opponent a jack-high straight and the lead. The 
river brought Ivey back in front with the nut flush, and he eliminated his opponent.
