Grant Levy entered the pot with a raise to 60,000 from under the gun.

Vladimir Geshkenbein was next to speak, and followed with a raise to 200,000. Everyone else passed and Levy slid his remaining 500,000 or so into the middle with Geshkenbein instantly calling.

Levy: {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts}
Geshkenbein: {A-Spades}{10-Hearts}

The flop of {5-Spades}{3-Clubs}{8-Spades} kept Levy in the lead and Geshkenbein drawing to any Ace or running cards for a straight or flush.

"The four of spades is perfect" stated Levy, only to see a different spade land - the {K-Spades}.

Levy would now need to fade any Ace or spade to stay alive, but unfortunately for him the {Q-Spades} would land on the river to see him exit in fifth place.

For Levy, he wouldn't be going home empty handed as he collects $49,127 for his deep run in this tournament as Geshkenbein soars to 3,510,000 in chips.
