Grant Levy has just won a pot from Ziv Bachar. There was small action with betting on the flop and turn on a board of {10-Spades}

. Levy bet the river and Bachar reluctantly showed a King and folded. Levy showed {A-Hearts}

for the absolute nuts.

After being the short stack early Grant Levy now has a good sized stack in front of him. His situation today is very similar so far to his position at yesterday's Sydney APPT Main Event Final Table.
