Ivey Gets Rivered Out of $50K High Roller to Make Hemyari's Dream Come True
Level 11
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Phil Ivey had just picked off a bluff from Keyavash Hemyari to take his 300,000 starting stack to around 560,000 but the two were quick to get into another pot together.
Ivey opened to 50,000 from middle position and then Hemyari three-bet to 185,000 from the cutoff. Ivey jammed and was snap-called by the slightly bigger stack.
Phil Ivey: J♥J♣
Keyavash Hemyari: A♦K♣
It was a classic flip, and one that Ivey was winning following the 10♦4♠3♠ flop and 4♥ turn. However, the A♥ came in on the river to give Hemyari the checkmark and ensure Ivey's appearance was just a cameo.
"Isn't that every recreational's dream?" said Hemyari after dragging in the pot.
