Ivey Drops Two in a Row
Level 28
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Phil Ivey raised to 650,000 on the button and Talal Shakerchi defended from the big blind. The flop came K♠Q♠2♥ and Shakerchi check-called a bet of 800,000 from Ivey.
The turn was the 5♠ and Shakerchi check-called another bet of 1,500,000. The 8♥ landed on the river and both players tapped the table. Shakerchi tabled A♠7♥7♣6♠ for the nut flush and Ivey mucked his cards.
On the next hand, Ivey made it 650,000 again and Dennis Weiss three-bet to 2,325,000 on the button. Ivey called and they went heads-up to a flop of A♠8♣3♥. Ivey checked to Weiss who continued with a bet of 1,600,000 and Ivey quickly folded.
