Ivey Can't Seem To Conquer the WSOP Europe
If you read the feature post we did on Phil Ivey a little while ago, you'll know he doesn't have the best of records at the WSOP Europe. Despite being able to get himself off to a great start and more than triple his stack by the first break, Ivey has since dusted ALL of it off. The last bit of his stack, about 6,000 or so, went to Chance Kornuth who was recently moved to Ivey's table.
Ivey opened to 400 according to Kornuth, who flatted on the button before the flop came down 
. Ivey continuation bet 600 and Kornuth raised to 1,650. Ivey shoved for roughly 6,000 and Kornuth met him with a call, holding the 
for top two pair. Ivey held pocket aces, but they weren't looking too good at this point.
The turn and river both blanked off and failed to put Ivey back in front. Kornuth had Ivey covered by a bit and the eight-time gold bracelet winner was up and out the door. Kornuth has assumed the pole position here on Day 1b thanks to this pot with 16,700 chips.
