Huge Cooler Sends Greenwood To the Rail in 3rd Place ($350,000)
Phil Ivey called in the hijack with [AhAd]; Sam Greenwood checked the button with [Kc8c]. A flop of [Ac8sQc] boded action, and it did not disappoint. At this stage, however, it was limited to a 200,000 lead from Ivey, called by Greenwood.
Ivey turned quads with the [As] turn and checked them, Greenwood checking behind.
The river: [Jc]. Ivey bet 400,000, Greenwood raised to 1,950,000 (about half his remaining chips) and called when Ivey moved all in. He saw the bad news represented by his opponent’s maximum aces and suddenly we are heads up, Ivey with a dominating chip lead.
