Ivey Finds a Call to Score Knockout
Nível 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
A player opened to 1,500 in the cutoff and was called by Phil Ivey on the button as well as both blinds.
Action checked to Ivey following the J♠5♣2♠ flop and he continued for 3,000. The small blind responded by moving all in for 27,100, forcing two quick folds from the big blind and cutoff. Ivey thought for a while before eventually calling with the covering stack to put his opponent at risk.
Small Blind: K♠Q♠ 
Phil Ivey: K♥J♣
Ivey was ahead with his top pair but would need to fade quite a few outs to win the pot. Nothing changed on the 7♣ turn with the 6♣ river keeping Ivey's pair best to hand him the knockout.
