Ivey Spends Some Time in the Tank
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Phil Ivey and Istvan Birizdo had arrived on the river in a pot of 14,000 chips. The completed board read 5?8?4?9?2? and Ivey checked out of the big blind.
Birizdo was in early position and put out a small overbet of 14,000. This led Ivey to think about the situation for several minutes. Eventually, he put in calling chips. Birizdo showed 10?10? and his overpair was good for the win as Ivey slid his cards face down towards the dealer.
