limping A3 and checking that flop is gross

[Djinn]

Well that's the first major confrontation I've seen Ivey come out behind on - he didn't look pleased about being called on the river and having to show his Ten-high...

Anyway, he's lost a couple more pots now, both to Dave Gregory - in the first one Phil called on the button, and then called Dave's big blind raise of 50k.  They checked all the way to the end:  and Dave's Ace high was good.

The next hand, Dave takes Phil's big blind from the small blind with a preflop raise.

The next hand, Dave raises to 75k on the button, again Phil calls (sb). 
Flop:    Check-check.
Turn:    Phil bets out 120,000.  Call from Gregory.
River:     Phil gives up, checking, and gets a check behind.  They both have Ace high, but Dave's A 10 beats Phil's A 7...

If you limp in you have to check when you hit that flop.

why?  leading out looks weaker than checking since you'd normally raise an ace on the button

I don't want to be having to pick of a big move with A3....

I would rather control the pot size, and the size of the move by checking the flop and only allowing Ivey 2 steets.

Ivey -- 1.3 mil
Gregory -- 1.4 mil
Glenne -- 2.1 mil

[snoopy1239]

Ivey mulled the final all-in on that hand for a good several minutes.

Nothing happens, but there is something fascinating about watching an Ivey dwell, no idea why though.

Must have been Ivey bet and Glenne called.

Glenne definitely limped preflop from the button.

I think you have to bet with the blinds in. Allowing a Turn to fall with two other players in (who could have any 2 cards) seems unnecessarily risky to me.
