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 {A-Clubs}{6-Clubs}. The at-risk player held {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}.

When the board ran out {5-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{7-Spades}{8-Hearts}, 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.
