High Stakes Poker Snapshot: Welcome to Ivey World

It took five episodes of High Stakes Poker Season 6 to bring us an episode with some real action.

Episode five, which aired yesterday, had just that – and loads of it.

We had Dario spazzing vs durrrr, Gus getting felted for 200k vs. Negreanu, Mercier vs. Ivey and, of course, durrrr three-barelling Ivey.

Any one of those hands would make a great strategy snapshot. But, sadly, we had to narrow it down to the single greatest.

IMO, it’s a close race between Ivey “picking off” Mercier’s bluff and durrrr’s three-barrel.

Though the Ivey-durrrr hand might have been more exciting, I believe there’s more to talk about in the Mercier-Ivey hand.

The durrrr hand was just a sick three-barrel in a three-bet pot. Of course, had Ivey called like he was contemplating with his pair of sixes, we would really have something to talk about.

However, I wouldn’t be able to provide much insight on fifteenth-level soul-reading so it’s a good thing he folded.

The Mercier hand, though, is very interesting and not just because he’s a PokerListings blogger.
