Ivey Goes 2-0
Jun 22, 2021
Patrik Antonius limps on the button for 3,000 with 
. Phil Ivey wakes up with a power house and bumps it to 12,000 with his 
. Antonius obliges and the two see a flop with already 24,000 in the middle.
Ivey bets 7,920 on 
and Antonius floats. Ivey checks when the 
lands on the turn and Antonius bets 11,952. Ivey calls.
The 
completes the board and commentators Jamie Kerstetter and Doug Polk get excited and see this as a card Antonius can use to bluff. Antonius does exactly that, shoving for 45,200 once Ivey checks. Ivey calls, though, and defeats Antonius to make it 2-0 in this best-of-five match. Ivey needs to win just one more match to win the WPT Heads Up Championship. Antonius has the daunting task of winning three in a row to come out victorious.
