Monster Pot For Ivey Pushes Him Near 500k
In what must have been a three-bet pot preflop, Phil Ivey was facing off against Lev Milman. Milman was in the big blind while Ivey was in middle position. After preflop action, there was already nearly 40,000 in the pot.
The flop came down 
and Milman led out with a bet of 15,500 which Ivey promptly called.
The turn was the 
and Milman led out again, betting 40,000 this time. Ivey took his time then called.
By the time the 
came on the river a huge rail of over 20 people had gathered around to spectate the hand. Camera crews also rushed over as well. Milman thought for a while before he checked to Ivey. Ivey thought for a second as well before he announced that he was all in, shoving with a covering stack for about 110,500 effective.
Milman tanked for about two minutes but in the end he decided to fold so Ivey raked in the pot moving to nearly 500,000 chips.
