Ivers Gets Value with Tens Full
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Joseph Baghdalian kicked things off with 8♥8♦ from middle position, raising to 2,600. Daniel Ivers called in the hijack holding 10♥10♦, and Andrew Fleming came along on the button with A♣2♣.
The A♦4♥10♠ flop gave Ivers middle set, and Baghdalian led out for 2,400. Both opponents called, keeping the pot multiway.
The 4♦ on the turn paired the board and improved Ivers to a full house. Baghdalian checked, and Ivers bet 6,500. Fleming let go of his top pair, while Baghdalian took some time before check-raising to 16,000. Ivers made the call.
The 5♣ river changed nothing, and Baghdalian checked again. Ivers paused to count his stack, then fired 36,000. Baghdalian quickly folded, giving up the pot to Ivers and his well-disguised monster.
