Pay the Man

We have seen this time and time again - no-one ever believes Phil Ivey. There's something about him that just makes people think he's at it - whatever it is, he is a true master of getting paid off.
We caught the hand from the turn, the board reading 
and around 100,000 in the pot. It looked as though Kayvan Payman (utg) had checked. Phil Ivey (cutoff) had bet 50,000. Eventually Payman called.
The river was the 
and Payman definitely checked this time; over to Ivey, who bet 100,000, with just 70,000 behind. There began an epic spell in the tank for Payman. After five minutes or so, he more stated than asked, "No way you show if I fold, eh?" This elicited absolutely zero response from Ivey.
Another minute or so, and Payman called - only for Ivey to show him 
for quads. Payman mucked and dropped to 65,000. Ivey is up to 460,000.
