Ivey Takes it Down on River
Level 15
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
The hand began when Phil Ivey limped from early position. Thomas Taylor followed with a limp from the hijack, and Erick Lindgren limped from the small blind. Cliff Josephy checked his option from the big blind to create a four-way pot.
The table checked around to Taylor on the Q♠8♥10♥ flop. Taylor chose to bet 40,000, which led to folds from Lindgren and Josephy. Ivey was not done with the hand and stuck around with a call.
Ivey checked the 6♠ turn, which led to a bet of 135,000 from Taylor. Ivey once again called to send both to a river.
Ivey bet 145,000 when the 8♣ hit the river. Taylor gave it some thought before he folded awarding the pot to Ivey.
