Ivey, who is thought to have a substantial proposition bet based on him winning a bracelet at this year's series, looked set to cash in on that bet as he was flying high at the top of the chip counts with just three players remaining but it all started to go wrong when he was quartered by Scotty Nguyen" - [betting.betfair.com]
