Ivey Starts in the Right Direction
Level 21
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Phil Ivey opened to 150,000 in middle position and only Roman Hrabec called, defending his big blind.
Play checked through on the K♣4♣5♣ flop, and the 6♠ turn.
When Hrabec checked for a third time on the 9♥ river, Ivey placed a bet of 100,000. Hrabec opted to fold and Ivey pulled in the first pot of the day.
