Ivey is Locked In
Level 15
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Ben Heath raised to 120,000 from the hijack and Phil Ivey defended his big blind.
Ivey check-called a bet of 85,000 on the K♣5♠3♠ flop, then checked again on the K♦ turn. Despite the distraction of a loud rail from the nearby three-handed battle in the $3,000 Freezeout, Ivey remained laser-focused on Heath, staring him down as the Brit considered his options. Heath eventually fired 335,000, and Ivey made the call.
Both players checked the 2♥ river. Heath quickly conceded when Ivey revealed K♠10♦ for trip kings
