Early Double-Up for Ivey
Level 21
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Tomasz Gluszko opened the action from the hijack with a raise to 125,000, and Phil Ivey defended his big blind to see a flop.
The dealer spread 10♠K♣7♠, and after Ivey checked, Gluszko continued for 325,000. Ivey took his time, then moved all in. Gluszko quickly called.
Ivey had a flush draw and top pair with K♠8♠3♥2♥, while Gluszko held K♦J♣XxXx for at least top pair. The 4♦ on the turn didn’t change a thing, but the A♠ on the river gave Ivey the flush, and he secured a double-up.
