Cheri Ivan

As they were breaking a table after reaching 18 players, Cheri Ivan defended her big blind from a Sam O’Bryant raise.

The flop was 6s3s3h and both players checked, then all of Ivan’s 485,000 went in the middle after the Jh turn.

Ivan: 3c3d
O’Bryant: 6h6c

O’Bryant flopped a full house but he was drawing to one out against Ivan’s quads. It wasn’t the 2h river and Ivan doubled big through the leader.

Cheri Ivan – 1,100,000 (28 bb)
Sam O’Bryant – 2,200,000 (55 bb)
