Paul Volpe made it 200,000 to go in the cutoff. Phil Ivey called in the big blind, after which the Q♥8♦3♦ flop was fanned.
Volpe continued with a bet of 215,000, which Ivey check-called. The 5♥ turn was then checked through to the J♦ river, which Ivey also checked.
Volpe dropped in a big bet of 660,000 in response. Ivey confirmed the amount before he called, seeing his opponent table A♠9♥ for ace-high.
Ivey had rivered a pair with his J♥10♠, and he was awarded the sizable pot to overtake his opponent on the leaderboard.
