Ivey Chops and Then Loses
Level 13
: 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Phil Ivey just raised to 5,100 and the player in the big blind defended. The flop came down 
and Ivey's opponent check-called 7,500.
On the turn the 
hit and the big blind checked again after which Ivey bet 17,500. Ivey's opponent called and both players checked on the river when the 
popped up.
The big blind showed 
and Ivey tabled 
, as both players played the board.
The pot was chopped, but a little while later a colleague brought to our attention that Ivey had lost a big pot versus a set of kings. This pot knocked Ivey back down to 410,000, but he's still among the bigger stacks in the room.
