Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Phil Ivey moved all in under the gun for 24,000 and got a call from Ping Liu in middle position.

Calvin Anderson then came over the top and shoved for more. Liu tanked for a while but opted to fold.

Phil Ivey: A♦7♥ All in
Calvin Anderson: K♠Q♠

The turn brought the 2♦ but the river brought the J♠ to complete Anderson's flush and send Ivey packing.
