Ivey vs Salter vs Ivey
Yesterday, Jack Salter tweeted that he finally ended up on the same table as legend Phil Ivey, and table four was the first to break right after registration closed. Salter was moved over to table three and found himself up against Ivey.
Both just got into a small pot that ended up in the favor of Ivey, before Salter won a far bigger one soon after.
Hand 1
Ivey made it 18,000 to go and Salter called in the big blind. On the 
flop, Salter check-called a bet worth 20,000 before then check-folding the 
turn to a second barrel worth 55,000.
Hand 2
Salter opened to 17,000 on the button and Ivey called in the big blind to see a flop of 
. Ivey check-called a bet worth 11,000 before doing so again on the 
turn for 28,000. The river completed the board and Ivey checked for a third time. Salter now fired 90,000 and Ivey gave him a stare down before eventually calling. Salter turned over 
for a full house to boost his stack.
