Ivarsson Right On the Money

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

The board read {2-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} as Alexander Ivarsson faced a pot-sized shove from his opponent, who slid in his last 22,850.

Ivarsson leaned back in his chair, indicating he was in a tough spot. He spent about a minute thinking, then he asked the dealer for a clarification of the amount.

Ivarsson then called with {J-Spades}{J-Clubs}, and he was right, as his opponent had {Q-Clubs}{10-Hearts} for a stone bluff.

Ivarsson still had to avoid a queen on the river to get a reward for his good call. The dealer obliged, pulling out the {9-Diamonds} on the river.

With the latest knockout, Ivarsson's chip count moved into six figures.
