Ivey Mucks the Winner...

[Talking Poker]

From last night's WSOP broadcast.

Ivey has 77 wit hthe 7.

Villain has A9 (something like that). Over 2 million chips go into the pot preflop, and then they check it all the way down, with the last card being the A and putting a 4 flush on the board.

Villain says he has an Ace... Ivey waits for him to table it, and then Ivey mucks without even checking to see if he had a spade.

Now I'm sure this is a mistake anyone could make, but with 3 tables left at the WSOP at the pot representing over 20% of your stack, don't you think everyone should ALWAYS double check their cards on a 4 flush board?

Pretty costly mistake.
