Ivey Picks Up Where He Left Off

Not even the dinner break can slow down Phil Ivey's momentum right now. Joe Ward opened a pot from early position for 260,000 and was called only by Ivey out of the big blind. Both players checked the {9-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {10-Spades} flop. Ivey checked again on the {9-Spades} turn. That check prompted Ward to bet 200,000. Ivey wasted no time in check-raising to 600,000.

Ward had to give the check-raise a fair amount of thought. He eventually called to see the {8-Clubs} hit the river. Ivey led out for a cool million. Ward seemed anguished but couldn't find a fold. He called, then grimaced when Ivey showed {J-Hearts} {9-Hearts} for trip nines.

With Ward's chips added to Ivey's stack, Ivey now has 14.89 million. Ward is down to 2.1 million.
