Ivey Chops One, Wins One
Phil Ivey took on Sergi Reixach preflop for all his chips (1.5 million) with [AcKc], but Reixach held [AsKd] and they chopped the pot.
Next up, Ivey bet 150,000 on the button holding [9dTh] into four checkers who’d limped pre on a board of [JhQsQh] with no callers (the only player with any sort of hand had been Wai Kiat Lee with [JsTd]). Each big blind ante match is worth 60,000 so every pot that seems low on action is still important chipwise.
