Top Pair No Good for Ivey

Under the gun limped and then a player in middle position limped. Ketul Nathwani raised to 900 from the cutoff seat and Phil Ivey called out of the big blind. Both limpers called as well.

The flop came down {A-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} {4-Spades}. Action checked to Nathwani and he bet 3,000. Ivey called and the next player folded. The player after that raised all in for 13,350. Nathwani folded, but Ivey made the call.

Ivey held top pair, {A-Clubs} {J-Hearts}, but was well behind his opponent's set of nines, {9-Hearts} {9-Diamonds}. The turn and river were the {2-Diamonds} and {Q-Diamonds}, allowing the player to double up and then some, mostly through Ivey. Ivey himself dropped to 55,000.
