On the final hand of the tournament, Chen brought it in with a deuce and Ivey completed an ace. Chen then raised and Ivey re-raised. That's where Chen stopped and motioned to TD Bob Smith.

"I have a question," said Chen. "How many raises are we allowed?"

"Heads-up, as many as you like," Smith replied. Chen then put in the next raise, which Ivey just called.

Both players caught babies on fourth street. Ivey was slightly better and bet the lead. Chen called. The situation repeated itself on fifth street. Ivey bet, Chen raised, Ivey re-raised and like that Chen was all in. The reveal showed an ugly situation for Chen:

Chen: A-5 / 2-7-6, a made 7-6
Ivey: 3-5 / A-6-2, a made 6-5

Improbably, each player made a strong low in 5. Ivey's was stronger and left Chen looking for a 3 just to chop the pot. Each player drew a 7 on sixth street, no help. Down the river, Chen pulled a 10, which was no help. Ivey, because he's Ivey, obviously pulled an unnecessary 4 to end the tournament in style with a wheel.

Chen had a 4-to-1 chip lead at the start of heads-up play, but Ivey just systematically and ruthlessly...

Cha-ching!!!

If durr's bracelet was going to ' bust the poker economy' I reckon Ivey's will put a little dent in it.

I read a story about Ivey's prizemoney was left at the cashier desk for 2 months or something for his last bracelet but he swept up those massive prop bets immediately! They reported it was around $2 million plus thank you very much
May all your pain be champagne!
