Ivens Involved in Big Back-To-Back Pots

No-Limit Hold'em

Mike Watson was seen walking away from his table as Todd Ivens raked in the last of the Canadian superstar's chips.

The money had gone in preflop with Watson's tens holding until the river on a runout.

The win boosted Ivens' stack to approximately 70,000, but it would be challenged on the very next hand.

Ismael Bojang raised on the button to 1,800, and Ivens three-bet from the small blind to 7,200. In the big blind though was Andrew Kelsall, who ripped his 42,900 into the middle with an all-in four-bet.

Bojang immediately folded and Ivens went briefly into the tank.

Ultimately he folded face up, opting to preserve his newfound stack.

Kelsall showed as he dragged the pot.
