With around 70,000 already in the pot preflop, Phil Ivey bet from the small blind on the 5♠9♥8♣ flop. Naoya Kihara called from the hijack and Marco Johnson called on the button.
A 7♦ hit the turn and Ivey bet again. Kihara raised, causing Johnson to tank-fold. Ivey continued with a call.
A 6♦ landed on the river and Ivey checked. Kihara bet, which Ivey called.
Kihara turned over Q♥J♦ and was playing the board with a straight. Ivey took a second before revealing K♠K♦, and the two chopped up Johnson's chips.
