Pocket Nines Do the Job Again for Phil Ivey
Andras Nemeth raised to 25,000 under the gun, Gurcan Gungoren flatted on his left, and Phil Ivey three-bet shoved for 212,000 from the small blind. Nemeth folded but Gungoren tanked, burned a few timebanks, and then called.
Ivey: [9h9d]
Gungoren: [KhJh]
Ivey saw a nine in the window, and the [6c8s9sQd5c] board secured him the double.
The very next hand saw Ivey lose 52,000 as he isolated Gungoren’s all in for 26,000. Matthias Eibinger, however, shoved with pocket and forced Ivey out. Gungoren’s nine-five found no help on the board.
