Nakanishi Pushes Ivey With Flush
Level 14
: Blinds 600/1,200, 0 ante
Phil Ivey raised to 10,000 preflop with pocket eights 8♦8♥, then fired another 8,000 on a flop of 7♠5♠Q♥.
Shota Nakanishi made the call with his flush draw 10♠4♠.
The board paired on the turn of Q♦, and Ivey again led out, this time for 20,000. Nakanishi stayed in.
The river brought the 3♠, which finally slowed Ivey, who checked. Nakanishi bet 100,000 with a flush.
Ivey's eyes darted from the board to Nakanishi and back, for just over a minute before he elected to fold.
