Grapenthien Shows the Nut Straight to Knock Down Ivey Early
Level 11
Matt Grapenthien: XxXx/10♥J♣6♥Q♦/Xx
Phil Ivey: XxXx/A♠9♠10♦3♠/Xx
Phil Ivey bet on fourth street and Matt Grapenthien called.
Ivey continued betting on fifth and sixth. Grapenthien called on fifth, but then raised all in on sixth. Ivey called to put him at risk.
Grapenthien showed A♣K♦ for a straight and Ivey had A♦Q♥ for a pair of aces. Ivey was already drawing dead as the 7♦ he caught on seventh was of no use, earning Grapenthien a double up and leaving Ivey short-stacked.
