Hands:
00:18 - Ivey Leaves Matusow Speechless
03:15 - The Craziest Bluff Ever
06:08 - No Chops Against Phil Ivey
Hand 1:
During an old Full Tilt Poker high stakes cash game, Phil Ivey, David Benyamine, and Mike Matusow see a jack-high flop with two clubs. Matusow bets with pocket kings, Ivey has A4 of spades, and calls with bottom pair. The turn pairs the jack and brings in the flush. After Ivey checks, Matusow chooses to check back with the overpair and king-high flush draw. Matusow improves to the king-high flush when the fourth club comes on the river but Ivey still only has a pair of fours. Matusow makes a value bet, only for Ivey to check-raise him. Matusow can’t find the call and is left speechless by what Ivey flips over.
Hand 2:
Phil Ivey and Paul Jackson see a flop while heads-up for the title in a 2005 Monte Carlo Millions $25,000 buy-in event. Ivey makes a continuation bet on the paired board with just queen-high, a backdoor straight draw, and a backdoor flush draw. Jackson check-raises with six-high and a backdoor straight draw. Ivey then puts in a rare flop 3-bet hoping to take it down now. However, the raising war doesn’t stop there as Jackson puts in another raise and 4-bets. Ivey doesn’t believe the story his opponent is telling, so he 5-bet shoves all-in with complete air. Jackson can't believe it and tosses his cards into the muck.
Hand 3:
Deep in a Triton Poker tournament in Jeju, Ivey calls a 3-bet with KJ of clubs from the cutoff against Ramin Hajiyev, who has ace-king. The low connected flop misses both players, but Ivey check-calls a small continuation bet from Hajiyev. The turn checks through, and the river brings a seven-high straight on the board. Ivey moves all-in for just under the pot, hoping to get his opponent off of a chop pot. Hajiyev tanks for a while but ultimately folds as Ivey scoops the entire pot.
