First Heads Up Pot to Ivey, Chip Lead Too Close to Call
Preflop, Phil Ivey limp-called Michael Soyza’s raise to 370,000 with [Qh6h]. Soyza, with [Kd9h], bet the [6s7h7c] flop when Ivey checked to him, and his opponent called. Both players checked the [Jh] turn, but Ivey led out for 1,200,000 on the [Kh] river, having made his flush on the same card that paired Soyza. He got the call he was after, nosing in front after just one pot heads up.
