The dealer peeled 6♣4♠A♥. After a check, Kabrhel fired 2,000 and Sitbon called.

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.
