Ivey Takes One Out
Arne Comis raised to 1,600 from the early position and was called by Andrew Boccia (mid-position), Keith Lutz (hijack), Phil Ivey (cutoff) and Jasvel Saigal in the big blind.
The flop came , both Saigal and Comis checked. Boccia bet 5,500, Lutz looked at his cards once more and then folded. Ivey called. Saigal decided to shove and Comis now quickly folded. Boccia looked at Saigal and asked for a count. The ESPN camera crew quickly came over to the table as they saw that a pot was developing on Ivey's table.
The dealer confirmed the all-in was for 16,600 in total. Boccia called and so did Ivey.
They both checked through the on the turn to the on the river. Boccia checked and Ivey looked at the board. He then glanced at Boccia and bet 20,000. Boccia tanked, after about two or three minutes, he removed the card protector and looked at his cards again. He then reluctantly folded.
Jasvel Saigal:
Phil Ivey:
Saigal had flopped two pair, jacks and fives, but that couldn't beat the flush that Ivey had turned. Saigal was sent to the rail and Ivey calmly stacked up his newly acquired chips.
