Ivey Doubles Through Kim
Level 12
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Action folded around to Phil Ivey on the button, who open-shoved his remaining 1,315,000 chips into the middle. Brian Kim reshoved all in from the small blind with the larger stack, forcing a fold from the big blind and taking on Ivey heads up.
Phil Ivey: K♦10♦
Brian Kim: A♦J♦
A flush would be no good for Ivey, as Kim had the higher diamonds, but it wouldn't matter as the dealer turned Ivey's gin card in the form of the K♥ on an eventually completed board of 6♠9♥5♦K♥8♥, giving Ivey the full double-up.
