Ming Lee was the aggressor, leading the betting until sixth street where Phil Ivey took over. At showdown it was the battle of two pairs once again, and again Ivey came out victorious.

Ivey made jacks and eights to scoop against Lee's sevens and fives. Ivey is back in front with 1.24 million with Lee now on the short stack with 560,000.

Every pot that gets to showdown at this point is a big one. Carlos Mortensen and Phil Ivey have essentially swapped positions after Ivey scooped with queens up to return to the chip lead over Mortensen's jacks up. The boards were:

Mortensen: ( {J-Diamonds}

-X)

Ivey: (

)

Both players now sit at around 980,000 chips.

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

[user67765]

Another hand has gone against Phil Ivey. He raised preflop before Carlos Mortensen reraised. Ivey called, and then called a bet on the {10-Spades}

flop.

The turn brought the {Q-Clubs}

and again Ivey checked and called a bet from Mortensen. The river landed the {K-Spades}

and both players checked it down.

Mortensen tabled {Q-Hearts}

and again Ivey has been dented by an opponent's straight, as Mortensen is now our chip leader. He has nearly 1.1 million with Ivey back to 855,000.

Mortensen Gets One Back

Phil Ivey raised from the button before Carlos Mortensen reraised in the big blind. Ivey called and they saw a flop of {7-Clubs}

. Mortensen fired out a bet, which Ivey called.

The turn was the {5-Hearts}

and again Mortensen fired at the pot with Ivey making the call. The river landed the {8-Hearts}

and Mortensen fired a third barrel with Ivey calling him down.

Mortensen showed {A-Hearts}

for a straight and seven-low as Ivey sat there motionless for several seconds, perhaps stunned that he'd actually lost a pot, before mucking.

[user67765]

Carlos Mortensen completed and Phil Ivey made the call. On fourth Mortensen fired, with Ivey taking the lead on fifth and sixth, before Mortensen put in a raise. Ivey deliberated for some time before calling and checking the river in the dark. Mortensen checked behind and the cards were revealed:

Ivey: ( {6-Diamonds}

)

Mortensen: (X-X-X) {8-Spades}

Mortensen cringed when he saw Ivey's cards as he couldn't better two pair and mucked. Ivey is now up to 1.61 million with Mortensen down to 560,000.
