Ivey Flips Punsri to the Rail
Level 5
: Blinds 800/1,600, 0 ante
After Punnat Punsri found himself down to just 60,000 chips, him and Phil Ivey got all of their chips in the middle preflop which turned out to be a coin flip.
Punnat Punsri: A♣J♦
Phil Ivey: 2♣2♦
The flop of Q♣4♦3♥ left Ivey in the lead with his pocket deuces. The K♠ on the turn gave Punsri some more outs but the 3♦ on the river was not one of them. Ivey picked up the opening round win and will take on Alex Foxen in the next round in a star-studded matchup.
