Ivey Doubles Through Kim
Level 12
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Action folded around to Phil Ivey on the button, who open-shoved his remaining 1,315,000 chips into the middle. Brian Kim reshoved all in from the small blind with the larger stack, forcing a fold from the big blind and taking on Ivey heads up.
Phil Ivey: K?10?
Brian Kim: A?J?
A flush would be no good for Ivey, as Kim had the higher diamonds, but it wouldn't matter as the dealer turned Ivey's gin card in the form of the K? on an eventually completed board of 6?9?5?K?8?, giving Ivey the full double-up.
