Sion Makes Big Laydown
Level 14
Pot-Limit Omaha
Phil Ivey opened to 35,000 from middle position and was called by Elior Sion in the big blind.
Sion checked and then called a bet of 40,000 from Ivey after the flop came A♠J♥K♦.
The 6♣ turn saw Sion check for a second time and then call again after Ivey pushed 150,000 into the middle.
Once the 8♦ river completed the board, Sion checked for a third time. Ivey responded by counting out a bet of 400,000, putting Sion to the test for almost all of his remaining chips. After several minutes, Sion, who appeared to be going through the wringer, folded his hand, showing the table A♦A♣ while keeping his other two cards face down to leave himself fairly short as the money bubble approaches.
