. The hijack seat checked and Ivey bet 1,300. His opponent called.
On the 
turn, both players checked to see the 
land on the river. After his opponent checked, Ivey bet 4,000. His opponent mulled it over and then called. Ivey showed the 
for two pair, tens and nines, and won the pot.
On the next hand, action folded to Ivey in the cutoff seat and he raised to 900. Phil Collins called from the small blind and the flop came down 
. Both players checked.
Collins and Ivey also checked the 
turn card and 
river card. Collins announced ace high, but Ivey showed the 
and Collins mucked his hand.
On the next hand after that, Ivey raised to 1,000 from the hijack seat and David Grey called from the big blind to see the flop come down 
. Grey checked and Ivey bet 1,200. Grey folded and Ivey took his third in a row.
