Levy Heading Straight To The Bank

Grant Levy is laughing all the way to the bank after making a titanic come back from just 3,500 chips.

Levy now sits over 28,000 after a recent hand.

On a flop of {A-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{10-Spades} Levy bet out 1,275 and Bill Potts tossed out 2,075 in multiple chips. The dealer asked Potts what his decision was and he responded that he wanted to call.

At this stage Levy asked the floor for a ruling, as Potts bet was over half the amount required to raise. The floor agreed with Levy and the Potts had to raise to 2,550. Levy then moved all in over the top with the opponent calling.

Levy tabled {K-Spades}{q-Hearts} for a Broadway straight, and the Potts over {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for top and bottom pairs. The board completed {6-Spades} turn and {k-Hearts} river to put Levy back in a favorable position in this tournament.
