Ivey Wins Biggest Pot of the Tournament
Michael Soyza, start of day chip leader, had pulled back the lead recently, but one huge pot (the blinds a very hefty 150,000/300,000 now), changed it all around. Soyza called with [9c8d] preflop and Ivey raised from the button with [KhQh] to 1,000,000. Soyza called to see a flop of [Jh9h7d], on which he simply set his opponent all in, first to act. Ivey did put his stack over the line (all 5,575,000 of it) and after the [JdAh] turn and river had improved to the nut flush.
