Ivey Chips Up Further on the Bubble
In a three-way limped pot to the 10♠8♠3♦ flop, Bryce Yockey in the small blind bet 150,000 and Alex Foxen folded in the big blind, while Phil Ivey called in the cutoff. The J♦ fell on the turn and Yockey used one time bank extension before making it 350,000 to go, picking up another call by Ivey.
Yockey slowed down on the K♥ river and checked. Ivey asked for the size of the pot and then bet the full 1,320,000, sending Yockey deep into the tank. Two time banks later, Yockey called but couldn't beat the Q♥Q♦J♣9♣ for the second nut straight by Ivey.
One hand later, Ivey limped in and so did Foxen from the small blind while Aaron Katz checked his option in the big blind. On the A♥Q♠5♥ flop, they checked to Ivey and his bet of 150,000 won the pot right there.
