| Showdown |
Roy:   |
Dal Cerro:   |

flop, while the turn and 
river locked up the double.
"Better to be lucky than good," Roy said after the hand.

From under the gun, Joao Martins raised to 750. On the button, Flavien Guenan called, then Phil Ivey called from the big blind. From there, the dealer spread the 
flop, and Ivey checked. Martins bet 1,600, which was called by Guenan. Ivey, though, wanted to play for a bit more and check-raised to 7,100. Martins folded, as did Guenan, and Ivey won the pot.
