Ivey Wins Two Consecutive All-Ins
Just before the break, Phil Ivey moved all in from under the gun for 160,000 and only Sergi Reixach made the call in the small blind.
Phil Ivey: 
Sergi Reixach: 
The board ran out 
, it started with bad news for Ivey as there was an ace on the flop. But, the good news was that there was also a queen for him to hit quads. Ivey secured the double and stayed alive.
The very next hand, Ivey found himself in the big blind. Chad Eveslage raised to 40,000 from late position and Ivey made the call with his newly acquired chips.
The flop came 
and action went check-check on the flop. On the 
turn, Ivey now led for 50,000 and Eveslage called.
The river 
hit the board. After some thought, Ivey went all in for 250,000. Eveslage thought for a bit before letting his cards go. Ivey peeked at his cards before returning them to the dealer.
"Oh, the look back?" said Eveslage.
"You just got bluffed," said a tablemate.
"I know, who does the look back without bluffing?" said Eveslage.
Ivey smiled and raked his second pot in a row on the comeback.
Sam Grafton wanted to get involved in the fun. "Phil, are you a full-time tournament grinder now? If you ever want to share a room or something, hit me up. I'm always looking to save money. I'd just like to extend that courtesy since you're a part of the scene now."
"Thanks," said the always verbose Ivey.
