Ivey Spikes the River to Take Out Kupin
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Limits: 1,500-5,500
Aaron Kupin from under the gun and Phil Ivey from the cutoff were tangled in a pot heads-up.
On the A♦Q♦4♠ flop, a raising war broke out between the two which resulted in Kupin being all-in for 98,000 total, including the preflop bets which were missed.
Aaron Kupin: A♠A♥9♠7♠ 
Phil Ivey: A♣10♣6♦2♦
Kupin held top set against the flush draw and superior low draw of Ivey. The 5♠ turn gave Ivey the low before the 3♦ river gave Ivey the flush for the scoop.
