Ivey Gets a Double

Nível 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Phil Ivey opened to 40,000 from the cutoff before a player in the small blind moved all in. Ivey quickly called off his stack of 673,000 to put himself at risk.

Phil Ivey: K♣K♥
Small Blind Player: J♥J♠

Ivey was in a good spot to score a massive double and establish himself as one of the chipleaders. He maintained his lead on the A♣Q♣7♥ flop with the 4♥ leaving him needing to fade two outs heading to the river. He was able to do just that after the K♦ completed the board to send his stack north of the 1,000,000 chip mark and leave his opponent with crumbs.
