Cheong Sends Ivey to an Early Exit
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Phil Ivey's Main Event came to a quick end at the hands of Joseph Cheong, and Cheong filled in the details.
Ivey limped the small blind and Cheong checked his option. The flop came Q♥J♠2♦ and Ivey bet 1,000. Cheong called and the turn was the 7♣.
Ivey then bet 2,500 and Cheong again called. Ivey moved all in for around 5,000 on the 4♦ river and Cheong called. Ivey had Q♣2♣ for two pair, but Cheong had pulled ahead on the turn with Q♠7♦ to send Ivey to the rail.
