Ivey Inching Upward
We caught up with the action on a 
flop, where Phil Ivey was in a three-handed pot.
The first player to act in the hijack checked to the player in the cutoff, who fired 4,000. Ivey called from the button and the player in the hijack folded.
Both remaining players checked the 
turn, however, when Ivey's opponent checked the 
river, Ivey fired 6,000 into the middle. His opponent didn't take long to call and Ivey tabled 
for aces and tens with a queen kicker. Ivey's opponent dejectedly showed 
and mucked.
Ivey is up to 40,000.
