Butler and Tabatabai Flip for It All

Ashly Butler had raised on the button before John Tabatabai reraised to 1,200 from the small blind. Action got back to Butler and he reraised to 2,700. Tabatabai then made it 6,500 and Butler moved all in. Tabatabai quickly called and the cards were on their backs.

Butler tabled the {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} to have the slight edge in this flip with the {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} for Tabatabai.

The flop put Tabatabai in the lead when the {Q-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{5-Hearts} fell. The turn {2-Spades} and river {4-Hearts} kept Tabatabai with the best hand and doubled him up. He was all in for 16,925, which meant Butler needed to send over right around half of his chips.

After one player checked, Phil Ivey checked the {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} flop and a third player fired 1,225. The first player folded, then Ivey check-raised to 3,500. His opponent called.

The turn was the {J-Spades} and both players checked. They also checked the {3-Diamonds} that landed on the river.

Ivey mucked as his opponent tabled the {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} to win the pot.
