Hand #92 - Ivey Moves In on Shulman

No reads off this guy

Jeff Shulman has the button. The table folds around to him, and he opens to 1,500,000. Darvin Moon quickly folds his small blind. In the big blind, Phil Ivey mumbles something. The dealer clarifies as he clearly says, "Player announces, 'All in'." Ivey has committed his final 8,450,000 to the pot as Shulman sits deep in the tank. The audience falls deathly silent, quiet enough to hear shutters snapping and keyboards being pecked away at on media row.

Shulman sinks deeper into the tank, not even looking at Ivey really. Finally he looks up for the staredown, clasping his hands and mulling over this huge decision. Ivey looks cool as a frozen cucumber. After several minutes of camera time, Shulman opts to let it go, and Ivey didn't even flinch as he raked in the chips.

Ivey has 10,500,000 on the nose.
