Ivey Spikes Turn to Triple
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Moonho Seo opened from the cutoff to 10,000, and both Dominykas Karmazinas and Phil Ivey called from the blinds.
When Karmazinas checked the K♣J♥4♣ flop, Ivey bet 35,000, with just 11,000 behind. Seo called before Karmazinas check-raised to 170,000. Ivey flicked in his remaining chips, and after a bit of consistency, Seo folded.
Phil Ivey: Q♥J♠10♥6♠ 
Dominykas Karmazinas: K♦J♣J♦8♣
Karmazinas was ahead with middle set, but the A♦ turn improved Ivey to a straight, giving him the lead.
There was no board pair on the 6♦ river, and Ivey pulled in the pot, good for a triple up.
