Ivey Stays Alive

Tim Baker

Level 23 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Phil Ivey made it 1,400,000 from the button with just 900,000 behind. Isaac Haxton called from the big blind.

Haxton led out to put Ivey all in on the 4♠Q♠J♥ flop, and Ivey called for the remainder of his stack.

Phil Ivey: K♠9♠6♠5♣ All in
Isaac Haxton: K♦10♣7♣3♠

The 2♦ turn meant Ivey was one card away from elimination, but the 2♠ came on the river to give Ivey a flush, keeping him alive in the tournament.
