Ivey Takes a Small One

Stewart Morrison

Level 20 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Phil Ivey raised to 120,000 from the hijack, and only Jonas Kronwitter, in the big blind, called.

Both players checked the J♣3♦3♣ flop, and the dealer put out the 9♥ turn.

Kronwitter took over the betting lead, putting 100,000 in the middle, which Ivey called.

Both players then checked again on the Q♦ river, and Ivey's K♠Q♣J♦8♣ was good enough to lay claim to the pot.
