An Apple a Day

Moments after grabbing an apple from his favorite old couple on the rail, Phil Ivey returned to his seat for his small blind. Ryan Hart raised to 41,000 from under the gun. Herbie Gelman called from the next position, Sarne Lightman called from middle position, and Anh Van Nguyen called from the cutoff seat. Phil Ivey was in the small blind and raised to 180,000 with apple in hand. Only Nguyen made the call.

The flop brought the {6-Hearts} {6-Clubs} {5-Clubs} and Ivey led for 250,000. Nguyen tanked for a moment before looking at Ivey. Ivey was giving his famous blank stare and then took a big chunk out of his apple. Nguyen then called.

The turn was the {Q-Spades}. Ivey took a moment and went to make a bet with his remaining chips. He was going to bet with orange T5,000 chips as that's all he had left, but realized he was going to need two hands to do so. Not wanting to put his apple on the table, Ivey clenched is between his teeth and slid out a bet of 330,000 with two hands. Nguyen made the fold and Ivey raked in the pot.

Ivey is now up to 1.7 million.
