Day Defends Big Blind Against Ivey
![[user207516]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Action opened with Phil Ivey in the cutoff tossing in a raise to 14,000. No one else wanted to play with the multiple bracelet winner until it got to Ronnie Day in the big blind.
Day didn't take long to bump it up to 46,000, making Ivey wake up. He leaned forward at the table, removing his sunglasses for the first time, and asked for a verification of the raise size. Visibly unconformable, Ivey eventually made the call.
Ronnie Day: 
Phil Ivey: 
"There you go," he said as he tossed the call in and the flop came 
. Day led out for 55,000 with nothing but ace high, and Ivey stared him down for a bit before he finally tossed in the call.
The 
turn gave Day a gutshot to Broadway to go along with Ivey's flopped gutshot to the wheel and he led out for 75,000. Ivey went into the tank again, staring down the big blind player, playing with his chips a bit before he finally slammed the chips back onto his stack before sliding his cards into the muck.
