Phil Ivey raises to 1,100 from the button and the big blind calls. The flop comes {8-Diamonds}

and after the big blind checks, Ivey makes a continuation bet of 1,500. The big blind calls.

The turn pairs the board with the {8-Clubs}

and both players check. The river brings the {8-Hearts}

and the big blind leads for 2,200. Ivey tanks for a few minutes, giving his opponent the patented 'Ivey Stare of Death'. After gazing into his soul, Ivey pulls out the information he needs and makes the call.

Without hesitation, the big blind mucks his cards. Ivey wins the pot without having to show down.
