Bronshtein Takes a Big Chunk from Ivey

Nine-time World Series of Poker gold bracelet winner Phil Ivey began the day chasing that 10th piece of WSOP hardware and moving in the right direction. He was up over 50,000 in chips early, but has since fallen back below starting stack. After losing this recent pot to Yuval Bronshtein where he couldn't beat a six, Ivey dropped back to just 12,000 in chips.

Ivey: (X-X) / / (X)
Scott Seiver: (X-X) / — fold
Bronshtein: (X-X) / / (X)

Picking up the action on fourth street, Ivey led with a bet, and both of his opponents made the call to see fifth street. After the dealer pitched the next card, Ivey bet, Seiver folded, and Bronshtein called. After sixth street, Ivey fired another bet, and Bronshtein called.

"Give me a dark bet one time," said Bronshtein as the dealer burned before tossing each player his seventh street card. Ivey didn't react, nor did he fire a bet in the dark.

After seventh was received face down, Ivey checked, Bronshtein bet, and Ivey tank-called.

"Six," said Bronshtein, as he turned over .
