Ivens Involved in Big Back-To-Back Pots

Mike Patrick

Level 7

No-Limit Hold'em

Mike Watson was seen walking away from his table as Todd Ivens raked in the last of the Canadian superstar's chips.

Mike Watson:
Todd Ivens:

The money had gone in preflop with Watson's tens holding until the river on a runout.

The win boosted Ivens' stack to approximately 70,000, but it would be challenged on the very next hand.

Ismael Bojang raised on the button to 1,800, and Ivens three-bet from the small blind to 7,200. In the big blind though was Andrew Kelsall, who ripped his 42,900 into the middle with an all-in four-bet.

Bojang immediately folded and Ivens went briefly into the tank.

Ultimately he folded face up, opting to preserve his newfound stack.
