Ivey's River Jam Pushed Nakanishi Off the Hand
Level 15
: Blinds 800/1,600, 0 ante
Shota Nakanishi with K♥10♥ raised to 4,000 from the button, then Phil Ivey three-bet to 16,000 with K♦J♥. Nakanishi called to see a flop.
The flop dropped Q♥6♣Q♠ and Nakanishi called Ivey's 9,000 bet again, hanging on to see the next card.
Ivey bet another 35,000 on the 4♥ turn and Nakanishi, unfazed by the pressure, continued to hang on.
Ivey's 142,000 jam on the river 7♣ applied maximum pressure, which was enough to finally make Nakanishi fold.
