Mamut and Ivey Battle Over Aces
Level 5
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Nikolai Mamut raised to 6,500 under the gun. Phil Ivey on the button inquired after Mamut's stack before flicking in the call, after which Espen Jorstad defended his big blind.
The flop fell A?A?A?, leading to some table chatter. Jorstad checked to Mamut, who continued for 5,000 chips. Ivey made the call before Jorstad folded.
The 3? came on the turn, which saw Mamut bet 26,000. A quick fold followed from Ivey, and the pot was shipped to Mamut.
