Phil Ivey raised from under the gun before Ahmed Mohamed three-bet on the button. The blinds got out of the way and Ivey called.

The flop came 10♥5♣3♦ and Mohamed continued with a bet. Ivey now raised and Mohamed called off his last chips.

Ahmed Mohamed: A♣K♣
Phil Ivey: A♠10♠

Ivey had spiked top pair to outflop Mohamed's dominating hand. The board ran out 8♣6♦ and Ivey collected the knockout.

"At least I was knocked out by Phil," Mohamed said, looking at the positives despite being eliminated from the tournament.
