To this day, Phil Ivey is still one of the most feared players at the poker table, and this hand highlights exactly why. He floats on a flop with no real backdoor equity and then goes for the bluff on the river against Orpen Kisacikoglu in a €100,000 poker tournament.
Most players, myself included, would have snap-folded on the flop, but Ivey proves time and again that he is always thinking ahead and has plans for everything that he does.
The hand took place in a €100,000 No-Limit Hold’em Triton Super High Roller with the blinds at 500/1,000/1,000.
