We came to the action at Grant Levy's table with him in a pot and going up against Kim Gap Young with a flop showing 
.
The players checked to watch as the 
hit the turn. Young again checked, but this time Levy opted to kick into action, throwing out a half-pot sized bet. It took a few minutes but young eventually made the call and the two players watched the 
land on the river.
Young again checked and this time Levy would bet 6,750. Young then went deep into the tank. Eventually one of the players called the clock on Young, which prompted him to finally make a decision.
A call from Young would see Levy's 
land on the felt, enough to send Young's cards into the muck.

Level 3
: 100/200, 25 ante
The numbers are in at the 2011 APPT Macau Main Event and this year is now on pace to be the biggest APPT Macau event ever.
Last year there were 88 players who took to the felt on Day 1a. There were three Day 1 flights in that year and there would eventually be 341 players in the 2010 APPT Macau Main Event
Today, there were 269 players who took their seats and with a similiar amount of players expected to play tomorrow, this year's event is looking like it is going to crush the number from last year.
Just kidding of course, but here's the Phil Ivey chip update.
