Ivey's Down, But Not Out

[user135779]

Level 6 : 300/600, 75 ante

Team Full Tilt Pro Phil Ivey has just doubled up an opponent in a hand just after the break.

On a flop that read {10-Spades} {7-Hearts} {2-Hearts} , Ivey check-raised to 15,000 after his opponent led out for 2,500. The opponent called all-in and showed down {J-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} ahead of Ivey's {10-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} .

Ivey hit an open-ended straight draw on the turn of the {9-Diamonds} , but the river {Q-Spades} completed the board and the jacks held up. Ivey is down to around 15,000 in chips.
