Late Registrant Ivey Chipping Up
Level 13
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Phil Ivey had raised his button and Elie Nakache defended his big blind when the flop was dealt 4♠7♣A♣. Nakache then check-called a 20,000 bet from Ivey before the latter jammed all in for 72,000 on the Q♥ turn.
Nakache quickly mucked his hand, and the pot was shipped to the 11-time bracelet winner.
