Ivey Gets a Crucial Double
Level 23
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Lautaro Guerra made it 1,400,000 from hijack with Arthur Morris calling from the button and Phil Ivey calling from the big blind.
Ivey jammed for 350,000 on the Q♥5♦3♥ flop. Guerra raised the pot, which forced Morris to fold K♠J♣10♥9♣.
Phil Ivey: 8♦8♣6♦4♥ 
Lautaro Guerra: A♥10♠9♦2♥
Ivey had a pair of eights and needed to fade a lot of outs to survive. The 7♦ turn gave Ivey a straight, but he still needed to avoid a heart on the river. The 7♣ rolled off on the river, and Ivey secured the much-needed double-up.
