Ivey on the Hunt for Number Twelve
Level 7
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
A player in early position raised to 3,000 and was called by Phil Ivey on the button, fresh off his 11th bracelet win in the $10,000 2-7 Triple Draw, and Bart Hanson in the big blind.
The Q?2?6? flop was checked to Ivey, who placed a bet of 8,000 chips. Hanson folded before the other opponent called.
On the 7? turn, Ivey fired 15,000 chip and was again check-called before the K? river was knuckled by both.
Ivey showed A?8?6?5?3? for the nut low, while his opponent tabled A?J?9?4?2? for the nut flush, and the two chopped up the pot.
