Ivey Makes Huge Fold, Then Hits The Rail

[user80015]

Phil Ivey no longer alive in the Stud Championship

Phil Ivey completed to 4,000 only to have Eric Buchman make it 8,000. Doyle Brunson made it three-bets and Ivey instantly made it 16,000 with both Buchman and Brunson calling.

Ivey: (X)(X) / {K-Clubs} {A-Spades} {Q-Hearts} {J-Clubs} / (X)
Buchman: (X)(X) / {7-Clubs} {8-Spades} (folded on fourth)
Brunson: (X)(X) / {8-Clubs} {7-Spades} {A-Hearts} {3-Clubs} / (X)

Ivey led the betting on every street with Buchman passing on fourth while Brunson called down each bet until Ivey checked seventh street.

Brunson paused for a few moments before tossing out two pink 5,000-denomination chips leaving himself just 5,000 behind.

Having only 4,500 and staring at a pot in excess of 110,000, Ivey just sat there emotionless looking back at his three down cards several times before eventually folding his hand to see Brunson scoop the pot and climb to 120,000 in chips.

The following hand Ivey found himself all in on third street against Brunson with the following boards falling.

Ivey: {7-Clubs} {5-Spades} / {6-Hearts} {K-Hearts} {10-Spades} {8-Clubs} / (X)
Brunson: {10-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} / {10-Clubs} {7-Spades} {10-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} / {9-Clubs}
