Phil Ivey Wins Monster $687k Pot From John Juanda

Juanda on the button. Dwan is all-in on the SB. Ivey has the BB. Juanda raises to $4500. Ivey re-raises to $17K and Juanda comes over the top making it $55K. Flop comes A-5-10 with two spades. Ivey checks and Juanda bets $112k, Ivey pushes all in and Juanda calls. Ivey turns over pocket tens giving him a set and Juanda shows K 8 of spades for a flush draw. Turn and river don't give Juanda his flush and Phil scoops a $687,000 pot, one of the largest in the history of online poker. Congrats Phil!

Interesting and fun interview by Devilfish.  I think Phil Ivey is dead on regarding what it takes to be a top pro. 



Spoiler:  Phil talks about dropping a cool million on craps in one evening.
