An unexpected escape

[Bnobob]

Playing these hands a lot in the last few months I just didn't understand why Master Phil Ivey didn't win here He hit the A on the Flop and the second pair on the River was the aggressor in all actions and Ran away The villain had nothing more than a pair of fives

With few chips on the River he bets them all and receives a big pot

I think Ivey likes to play with his prey...Like a cat
Gave him false confidence by giving him this pot lol

It seems to be an effective strategy against amateur players, I've been putting this in my game after reassessing the situation, and finally it's been working in this situation, it doesn't seem to have been Ivey who left me Understanding this situation

No of course not.
Any skilled player is doing it at times. ...laying a trap

I don't know if he sees A8 on the table and collects two pairs and then throws it away, which means he thinks his opponent has an older set or two pairs, otherwise why would he just throw two pairs away when he can win it now and withdraw the money it's not logical I think he was afraid he had an older combination
