Ivey Gets There on the River
Phil Ivey's up to 86,000 after taking a recent pot from Jordan Morgan with a great river card. Ivey was first to act and bet a flop. Morgan called. Both players checked the turn. When the river fell , Ivey checked again. Morgan took the bait with a bet, then called Ivey's check-raise. Ivey turned over for a ten-high straight. It was the winner.
Morgan's count is getting dangerously low, with just 33,000.
