VIDEO Phil Ivey mucks winning hand at the World Series of Poker

Video of Phil Ivey mucking a winning flush with only 24 players left at the 2009 World Series of Poker Main Event! Here are the hands and the cards on the board:

Phil:
8 of spades
8 of diamonds

Board:
5 of spades
Queen of hearts
10 of spades
Queen of spades
Ace of spades

Jordan Smith:
Ace of diamonds
9 of clubs

Both players checked on the river and Jordan Smith showed he had a pair of aces. Phil mucked his winning flush and shrugged in disgust.

Here’s the video. The hand starts at the 5:00 minute mark and Phil brain farts right around 7:15.

2 million chips was a big pot considering the average chip stack at the two tables was around 8 million. Unbelievable! I’ll definitely be tuning in the rest of the way to see if that amount of chips would have changed Ivey’s fate at some point!

Here is a clip with just the one hand:
