Ivey Sits Down and Wins
Level 1
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Phil Ivey just took his seat and was faced with a raise to 13,000 from Zachary Schwartz on the button. Ivey called from the big blind and the dealer fanned the flop of K♥Q♣3♠. Both players checked and the 9♣ landed on the turn.
Ivey led out with a bet of 20,000 on the turn and Schwartz stuck around for the A♥ on the river. Ivey checked this time and Schwartz fired out a bet of 30,000. Ivey looked puzzled but still called. Schwartz turned over 10♠10♦ but Ivey flopped pair of kings with K♣8♦.
