Ivey Spikes an Ace to Double Up
Level 15
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Phil Ivey was one of the short stacks at the table and shoved all in for 1,490,000. A couple of players asked for a count but Artur Martirosian was the only player to call from the button.
Phil Ivey: A?Q?
Artur Martirosian: J?J?
The flop fell 10?9?3? and Martirosian was still out front with his pair of jacks. However, the A? peeled off on the turn and Ivey took a commanding lead. The 10? completed the board and Ivey remained stoic as he earned a double-up to stay alive.
