What's Your Take on Ivey's Play?

[clutch]

I think Phil gathered a lot of his chips early on by making a lot of well-timed preflop raises and continuation bets and pushing more timid players off TPGK, draws, etc.

I think today that he ran into some actual hands that pushed back at him and it cost him a lot of chips.

This is just a guess. Of course it's based on only a few hand descriptions and random commentary, so who knows.
