Ivey Doubles Through Smith

Ollie Garland

Level 12 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

Phil Ivey raised the button to 16,000 called by Smith in the big blind.

The flop came 9?2?3?. Smith played in flow and Ivey continued for 8,000. Smith called.

The turned 9? paired the board and Smith once again checked. Ivey maintained the pressure with another bet of 15,000. This time, however, Smith played back with a jam putting Ivey to the test for all his remaining chips. There was no decision to be made for Ivey as he snap-called the bet.

Phil Ivey: K?K?
John Smith: A?3?

None of Smith's five outs came to fruition by the river and Ivey doubles.
