Ivey Scoops Three-Bet Pot to Extend Lead over Puustinen

Phil Ivey continued to build his lead over online heads-up specialist Henri Puustinen, who reached the semi-finals in this event in 2021.

After Ivey's initial raise, Puustinen three-bet to 8,000. Ivey gave him the stare down before putting in the call.

The flop came {6-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}. Following a 20-second wait, Puustinen checked over to Ivey who was happy to check back.

An {8-Clubs} on the turn did nothing for the action as both players decided to slowly go check-check.

Following the {a-Spades} on the river, the Finn checked his hand and Ivey chose to finally fire 15,000 in the middle. A minute went by before Puustinen opted to muck his cards.
