Martin and Ivey Chop Mercier's Money

Level 11 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Stud Hi-Lo

On the last hand before the break, Phil Ivey, Jesse Martin and Jason Mercier tangled in a pot which saw both players continue all the way to the showdown. They were in for a bet on fourth street and Martin bet on fifth with three hearts out. Mercier and Ivey both called.

Ivey had a seven-low board so he fired on sixth and Martin raised. Mercier called and so did Ivey.

Ivey checked on seventh, Martin bet, Mercier raised and Ivey called. Martin raised it up again and both Mercier and Ivey called.

Mercier claimed he had a king-high flush and an eight-low but he ended up scooped as Martin showed an ace-high flush and an eight-low. Ivey took the other half of the pot with a seven-low.

Ivey: {q-Hearts}{3-Spades}{3-Clubs} / {7-Hearts}{a-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}
Martin: {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{9-Spades} / {9-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{2-Clubs}
Mercier: {x-}{x-}{x-} / {3-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{k-Spades}{j-Spades}
