Ivey Pays Off Watson
Level 1
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Phil Ivey, in the big blind, bet out 8,000 on the 6?J?2? flop. Michael Watson, on the button, made the call.
The 10? turn saw Ivey commit an additional 20,000 chips into the middle. Watson was undeterred.
The 7? river slowed down Ivey, Watson took the lead with a bet of 63,000 and Ivey went deep into the tank.
Toying with calling chips in his hands, Ivey used two time bank chips before making a frustrated call. Watson tabled 10?9? for a rivered flush, prompting Ivey to muck his cards.
