An interesting flop of 3 ♠ 10 ♥ 2 ♦ gifted Ivey top pair but Polk had an overcard plus a gutshot straight draw. It is a hand involving Doug Polk at the 2015 Aussie Millions, and starts with Polk raising to 55,000 with A ♠ 4 ♦, and Ivey calling with 10 ♣ 9 ♦. PokerStars ranked the following hand the best of Ivey’s poker reads.

A risky move on a draw-heavy board with only top pair weak kicker, but Ivey knew exactly where he was in the hand. Ivey was going nowhere, however, and he shoved for 870,000, which folded out Negreanu. Ivey checked on the 8 ♠ J ♦ Q ♦ flop, opening the door for Negreanu to test the waters with a 125,000 bet.

Negreanu appears again against Ivey in a hand where the popular Canadian opened to 90,000 with 9 ♣ 6 ♦ and Ivey called with Q ♥ 7 ♣. #2 – Ivey Versus Daniel Negreanu Daniel Negreanu McDonald deployed his trademark stare in Ivey’s direction before flicking his cards into the muck despite improving to top pair. The Q ♠ landed on the turn, and now Ivey lead for 60,000. Ivey tapped his shoulder and checked, leaving McDonald to set the price to play at 25,000, which Ivey called. The J ♣ 10 ♣ J ♦ flop missed McDonald but he did have an open-ended straight draw in his arsenal. Ivey got the preflop betting round underway with a min-raise to 16,000 with 9 ♥ 9 ♦ and McDonald called with K ♥ Q ♥. Hand number three of Ivey’s great poker reads involves Mike 'Timex' McDonald, another player unafraid to make big calls and folds. Nearly two hours after Petrangelo busted, the session concluded with six remaining players, and Haxton bagging approximately 50% of the chips in play.#3 – Ivey Versus Mike McDonald Mike McDonald Haxton began to take over the table, winning pot after pot. An A x would appear on the board to send Petrangelo home without a cash. The tournament was stuck on seven players for quite some time before Petrangelo went all in with K x K x against the bigger stacked A x K x of Stephen Chidwick. The former PokerStars ambassador, like Negreanu, is a past Super High Roller Bowl champion having taken it down in 2018 for $3.7 million, the largest cash of his legendary career. Haxton moved into a fairly sizable chip lead following the Negreanu elimination. But the 2 ♠ on the river officially ended his title defense. The A ♦ on the turn gave the Poker Hall of Famer some additional outs, adding a 5 x or 7 x to his possible suck-out cards. Negreanu fell a bit behind when the flop came out 4 ♥ 5 ♥ 7 ♥, but he still had an over card and flush draw to win the game.
