Ivey Sends Spurlin to the Exit
Level 14
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Jordan Spurlin opened the action from the hijack, betting 50,000 and leaving just one 5,000 chip behind. Phil Ivey then three-bet from the small blind to 90,000. Najeem Ajez called in the big blind, and Spurlin put in his last remaining chip.
Ivey continued for 110,000 on the 9♥7♠8♥ flop and Ajez folded.
Jordan Spurlin: A♠A♣5♠3♠ 
Phil Ivey: K♦J♥10♦5♥
Spurlin needed some help as Ivey had flopped the nut-straight.
The turn J♦ offered no assistance, and the river A♥ confirmed his fate.
Ivey pulled in the pot as Spurlin headed to the exit.
