Ivey KO's Goulding

[user66118]

Phil Ivey was first in from the button, and he made it 110,000 to skate. In the big blind, Kent Goulding put in a reraise to 325,000, and Ivey called.

Heads up, the flop came {Q-Spades}

. Goulding checked, and Ivey fired a big tower of chips at the pot, enough to cover his opponent. Goulding called all in for his last 910,000, at risk for his tournament life.

Showdown
Ivey: {J-Hearts}

Goulding:

Goulding was in the lead with top pair, but Ivey's flush draw was live. The turn was a blank though, as the {9-Spades}

was the wrong color. The river was the right color though, and indeed the right suit. The {K-Hearts}

spiked the board, improving Ivey to the winning flush and sending Goulding out the door.

With that win, Ivey is sitting pretty right at the 5,000,000-chip mark. Uh oh.
