Levy Knocks One Away
Level 7
: 400/800, 100 ante
During the late stages of the previous level, Daniel Levy eliminated a player to keep his stack as one of the biggest in the room. The hand saw Levy raise it up to 3,100 after three players limped . The player in the small blind then moved all in for 10,275 and the limpers got out of the way.
“Why do I put myself in these situations,” said Levy to no one in particular.
Levy eventually made the call and tabled . The at-risk player held .
When the board ran out , Levy said “Bink!” as he had hit a straight and then apologised to the eliminated player and graciously shook his hand.
“No one ever won a tournament by getting it in good,” quipped Levy as he stacked his new chips.
