Alin v. Levesque III

Pandilica Alin opened the pot with a raise to 26,000 and Carlos Giron made the call. Action then folded around the table to Eric Levesque in the big blind, who has a history with both players.

"My two favorite players," said Levesque. "How could I not get involved?" he said (paraphrased), tossing the extra 14,000 in to the pot to make the call.

The flop came down {8-Hearts}

and Levesque passed the first option to Alin, who fired a continuation bet of 37,000. Giron made a quick call and the action returned to Levesque, who put in a raise, kicking it up to 105,000. Alin quickly folded, but Giron stuck around to see the turn: {5-Hearts}

Levesque then checked and Giron fired a 100,000 bet. Levesque just called.

The last card off the deck was the {9-Hearts}

and there would be no checking on 5th Street. Levesque counted out 200,000 worth of chips from his stack leaving him a little less than 200,000 behind, and slid them into the middle. Giron tanked, but eventually folded, conceding the pot to Levesque.

"How's that?!" Levesque boasted, tabling the {8-Spades}

. "How's that?!" he said again, all the while staring down his defeated opponent.

After the hand, Levesque stacked up 950,000 in chips while Giron dropped to 430,000.
