Ivey KO's Goulding
Phil Ivey was first in from the button, and he made it 110,000 to skate. In the big blind, Kent Goulding put in a re-raise to 325,000, and Ivey called.
Heads up, the flop came {Q-Spades} {4-Hearts} {2-Hearts}. Goulding checked, and Ivey fired a big tower of chips at the pot, enough to cover his opponent. Goulding called all in for his last 910,000, at risk for his tournament life.
Showdown
Ivey: {J-Hearts} {5-Hearts}
Goulding: {Q-Clubs} {7-Hearts}
Goulding was in the lead with top pair, but Ivey's flush draw was live. The turn was a blank though, as the {9-Spades} was the wrong color. The river was the right color though, and indeed the right suit. The {K-Hearts} spiked the board, improving Ivey to the winning flush and sending Goulding out the door.
With that win, Ivey is sitting pretty right at the 5,000,000-chip mark. Uh oh.
Oh my.
Call 3bet in pos with J5hh when the guy 3bet 1/4th of his stack in pre? If you're Phil Ivey you can.
