I just watched it on youtube. It was a huge mistake of Ivey. I think he thught there was a flush draw out there and wanted this pot at all costs...
If he had just called the turn and river would have saved him.
Steinberg was extremely lucky (he won half of Mizrachi's chips before - flush vs straight) plus he had a bad image at the table.

There was a flush draw out there. Both played it perfectly IMO.

Yeah I saw the episode on YouTube. So many of the YouTube pros were hoping on about what a donk play ivey made
there reasoning was lol ivey had to play it that wsy
Well, lets just take a look at it, shall we?
I was actually super surprised by his play here. With two players in the pot showing aggression already, I thought the huge overbet by shoving was maybe way over aggressive. I mean, would two ace range
hands go at each other like that? Sure, but with bottom set you have to wonder if one might have AA. Even top two pair could see you dead with another A or 10, so you simply re-raise, right? See what happens after you do that? Not to mention the flush draw present!
Maybe that was what he was thinking - that the shorter stack had A-10/3 and Max only had a flush draw.
I only know this - Max was a happy camper after flat calling, I am certain! Had he re-raised, Ivey might have gotten away or gotten off for less.
