Phucking Amazing
You are in a major tournament and have outlasted 850+ people to get heads-up with a 4 to 1 chiplead (approximately 4,000,000 to 1,000,000). You are in the big blind and look down at...
Qh 8h
Your opponent calls from the small blind to bring the pot to 56,000 total. You raise 60,000 and he calls bringing the pot to 176,000. The flop comes down...
7c Jc Jh
You toss out a feeler bet of 80,000 bringing the pot to 256,000.
You are re-raised 90,000 bringing the total pot to 426,000.
You have Q high.
You think about it for a moment and re-re-raise 150,000 bringing the total pot to 666,000.
Your opponent also thinks for a moment and then announces a re-re-re-raise of another 150,000 bringing the pot to 966,000 total.
You have been called pre-flop and re-raised twice on the flop.
You have Q high.
You think about it for a moment and, after requesting a chip count from your opponent, announce "All-In."
Your opponent looks befuddled and shows...
6s 5d
...as he mucks his cards leaving him with less than 400,000 in chips and giving you a stronghold on the tournament.
You are Phil Phucking Ivey, the best poker player in the world.
Even the announcers were insisting that he had to fold each time he was raised, but instead he analyzed the situation and came up with the scenario he felt was appropriate. It was incredible poker by an incredible player. That is why he is winning million dollar tournaments and I am sitting here writing about him. Unreal.
