Poker legend Phil Ivey was eliminated from the $40,000 NLH Mystery Bounty event at the Triton Super High Roller Series Jeju II after being involved in a dramatic four-way all-in. The hand occurred with 11 players remaining in the tournament.
With blinds at 40,000/80,000/80,000, American pro Seth Davies opened for a shove of 205,000 from under the gun. Samuel Mullur then re-jammed for 2,120,000, hoping to collect Davies’ bounty. Ivey, also chasing bounty money, called from the button using part of his 3,020,000 stack.
Malaysia’s Wai Kiat Lee, sitting in the big blind, responded with a snap-shove that covered Ivey, forcing the poker legend to call off his remaining 900,000 in chips.
The cards were revealed: Davies held K♣9♣, Mullur had K♥9♥, Ivey showed A♦9♦, and Lee tabled A♣A♠. The overlapping holdings meant all three shorter stacks were blocking each other’s outs, leaving them nearly drawing dead against Lee’s aces.
The board ran out 7♣8♠7♥Q♠2♠, sealing the win for Lee, who scooped over half of the chips in play along with three bounty envelopes. Davies, Mullur, and Ivey were all eliminated, with Ivey earning a ninth-place finish worth $62,000 due to having the largest stack among the three.
The action added to a series of memorable moments at the Jeju Island festival, following Wiktor Malinowski’s earlier win of a $1.8 million pot against Ossi Ketola in their heads-up match.
