Quads vs Top Boat, Ivey Survives in Style
Level 18
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 0 ante
The action was joined as Phil Ivey moved all in preflop for 206,000, and Shota Nakanishi snap-called to put him at risk.
Phil Ivey: 7♠7♥
Shota Nakanishi: Q♥Q♦
Nakanishi looked set to end the match and progress to the next round, but the deck had other ideas as Ivey flopped a set on the 4♠7♦10♦.
Ivey improved to quads on the 7♣ turn, taking an insurmountable lead.
To add salt to the wound, Nakanishi improved to a full house on the Q♣ river, but it was too little, too late.
