Hoodwink Poker

I gotta tell ya about why I titled this post Oh My Gosh!!

If you watch the video below all will be revealed, it's a video of Tom Dwan and Phil Ivey going at it and setting a new tv cash game record in the Full Tilt Million Dollar cash game.

The action saw Dwan, on the button and holding 7h 6h, create a sizable preflop pot of nearly $50,000 against Ivey who was in the small blind holding Ac 2d. The flop came Jc 3d 5c , giving both Dwan and Ivey gutshot straight draws. Ivey then led out for $35,000 with the wheel and backdoor nut flush draw. Dwan took his time before making the call with his straight draw.

This is where things got interesting, as the 4h fell on the turn. Ivey quickly bumped the pot by $90,000 and Dwan took his time before raising up the action to $232,600. The emotionless Ivey then moved all-in, pushing the pot well past seven figures only to see Dwan insta-call with the nut straight. When the money went in, Ivey was drawing completely dead. The river completed the board with the Jh , leaving Ivey with nothing to do but sit and stew about the way the hand played out.

I didnt count how many times the commentator said "Oh My Gosh" but it did make me laugh!
