Zhou Lets Ivey Pick
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Quan Zhou opened to 30,000 from under the gun and Phil Ivey defended from the big blind. The flop came A♠K♥6♥ and Ivey check-called a bet of 43,000 from Zhou.
The 8♠ landed on the turn and Ivey checked again. Zhou eyed up Ivey's stack and then made a pot-sized bet of 161,000. Ivey went into the tank for a couple of minutes before finally releasing his cards.
Zhou showed the A♦ and then let Ivey pick two more cards for his eyes which happened to be the K♠2♠ for a minimum of two pair.
