Ivey Takes Three in a Row

Phil Ivey

Action folded to the player in the hijack seat and he raised to 875. Phil Ivey called on the button and the flop came down {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}{6-Spades}. The hijack seat checked and Ivey bet 1,300. His opponent called.

On the {10-Hearts} turn, both players checked to see the {4-Clubs} land on the river. After his opponent checked, Ivey bet 4,000. His opponent mulled it over and then called. Ivey showed the {K-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for two pair, tens and nines, and won the pot.

On the next hand, action folded to Ivey in the cutoff seat and he raised to 900. Phil Collins called from the small blind and the flop came down {Q-Spades}{6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}. Both players checked.

Collins and Ivey also checked the {J-Clubs} turn card and {5-Diamonds} river card. Collins announced ace high, but Ivey showed the {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds} and Collins mucked his hand.

On the next hand after that, Ivey raised to 1,000 from the hijack seat and David Grey called from the big blind to see the flop come down {K-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{2-Clubs}. Grey checked and Ivey bet 1,200. Grey folded and Ivey took his third in a row.

Thanks to these three back-to-back-to-back pots, Ivey has moved over 20,000 in chips.
