Phil Ivey Fan » Sick hands http://philiveyfan.com Fan blog about the world's best poker player: PHIL IVEY Thu, 26 Aug 2010 14:17:20 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc en hourly 1 Phil Ivey’s Quad Kings http://philiveyfan.com/poker-11/phil-iveys-quad-kings/ http://philiveyfan.com/poker-11/phil-iveys-quad-kings/#comments Wed, 26 Dec 2007 14:12:13 +0000 Philfan http://philiveyfan.com/poker-11/phil-iveys-quad-kings/ Phil plays pocket kings against Jerry Fitt who holds J9 suited. The flop gives Ivey quad kings — but means two pair for Jerry. Both players check, but on the turn Jerry check-raises Ivey… The river fill Jerry up, and obviously Ivey easily shoves it all-in…

An expert fold by Jerry Fitt — excellent play by Phil, unlucky not getting payed off though… :)

Both players miss the flop, both players don’t feel like backing off, and both players have the correct read on the other player. Excellent stuff!

Vicious poker — and I love it. At no point did Phil think he had the best hand in this one. At 2:35 you can actually see phil think “omgwtfbbq is going on in this one?!”. Sick, but breathtaking poker — enjoy it!

Youtube commenter Yoshi summed it up right, though:

“The deciding factor was that Jackson left 380K behind him with a million chip pot…which was illogical/unnatural. He would be pot committed later anyways if Ivey called. “
