Hold'em
Bill Chen raised it up from the button and Phil Ivey defended with a call in the big blind.
The flop landed 
and Ivey check-called the bet from Chen. The 
hit the turn and Ivey decided to lead out. Chen made the call and the 
hit the river.
Ivey checked and Chen quickly checked behind tabling 
for a busted straight-flush draw, that ended with a lonely pair of nines. It was enough as Ivey tossed his cards into the muck.
Ivey is down to 180,000 with Chen approaching 700,000.
