Ivey Chows Down the Fish
Level 14
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Jason Koon, in the cutoff, and Phil Ivey, on the button, just got their stacks into the middle preflop, with Ivey the player at risk.
Koon had AxKx while Ivey held 10x10x. The board ran out queen high for Ivey to double.
Ivey opened the following hand to 100,000, then reached into his bag and pulled out some glass tupperware, which appeared to contain some form of peppered or Cajun salmon. As Ivey took a few mouthfuls, the button and blinds got out of the way, and the 11-time bracelet winner took his stack above 2,000,000.
