No More Ivey

No more Phil Ivey
No more Phil Ivey

Action folded to Phil Ivey on the button and he raised to 2,500. Peter Wood called from the small blind and the two saw a flop of {K-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{4-Diamonds}. Wood checked and Ivey fired 3,000. Wood folded and Ivey won the pot.

On the next rotation, Ivey raised to 2,500 on the button again after action folded to him and things were shaping up the same as they did five hands ago with Wood making the call from the small blind.

The flop came down {7-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{2-Clubs} and Wood wasn't check-folding this time. He fired 4,100 and after a minute in the tank, Ivey moved all in for 30,100.

"Look what you've gotten yourself into now," said Wood about himself. "I can't fold this hand."

Another minute or so went by and then Wood made the call with the {A-Clubs}{3-Clubs}. Ivey held the best hand at the moment with the {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}. An ace or a club would give Wood the best hand if he were to hit on the turn or river.

"Can I use my one time?" asked Wood as the {J-Diamonds} was put out on the turn. He missed there, but the {8-Clubs} spiked on the river and although Ivey made a set, Wood spiked a club flush to win the hand. He slapped his hands together in victory before shaking the hand of Ivey.

Ivey got up quickly and began to exit the room. Willie Tann had asked Ivey earlier to give him his hat after he was finished, but Ivey must've forgotten about it and made his way to the exit.

Tann signaled to his railbird who was the one the hat was for and he started to go after Ivey. The fan held a Sharpie marker in hand, but turned back, obviously not wanting to bug Ivey after he just busted out. Tann insisted he go and the railbird turned back, with another friend by his side now, and they went after Ivey to ask for his hat and autograph. Ivey was already out the door and up the stairs at this time. He probably wasn't going to be too keen on signing autographs and giving away his hat upon busting, but everyone's a fanboy when you're the best player in the game. Just another day in the life of Ivey.
