Joe Hachem opened with a raise and Grant Levy then re-raised 8,500 in total. The action was folded back to Hachem who announced all-in. Levy instantly called.

Hachem said "I have an Ace" in which Levy replied "So do I".

The cards were exposed and Hachem showed {A-Spades}

and Levy tabled {A-Clubs}

.

The board came {5-Spades}

.

Levy now has 156,000 in chips and Hachem is down to 140,000.

Another one for Sydney.

When You're Hot You're Hot

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.

In another funny moment Scotty returned to the table after a brief break and sat in Joe Hachem's seat. Joe was talking to some friends on the rail and Scotty provided players and fans with a funny moment.
