Ivey vs. Rousso vs. Bax

Mickey Doft

Phil Ivey raised to 30,000 in the hijack and was called by Vanessa Rousso in the cutoff and Cliff Josephy in the big blind.

The flop came down {8-Diamonds}

. They each checked and the {7-Spades}

hit the turn. "JohnnyBax" checked and Ivey bet 40,000. Rousso called and Bax raised it up, making it 125,000 to play. Ivey thought it over for a minute and gave it up, as did Rousso.

Bax showed {A-Diamonds}
